The Drama Therapy Fund is a 501( c ) 3 charitable organization supporting the growth of drama therapy through the funding of education and research.

The Drama Therapy Fund was created in 2004 to help grow the field of drama therapy by collecting and sharing funds for education about drama therapy (for students, drama therapists, the mental health arena, and the general public) and for research into the efficacy of drama therapy as a prevention/treatment for mental health issues. Drama Therapy is the intentional use of drama processes and theatre performances to help individuals and groups work through problems, develop emotional intelligence, express themselves, resolve conflicts, and develop interpersonal skills. Why should you support the work of The Drama Therapy Fund? Because drama therapy works and this needs to be communicated clearly to the world at large. In our first 10 years of operation incorporated as a 501( c ) 3 charitable organization the Drama Therapy Fund has offered over 180 scholarships to conferences to drama therapy students and practitioners in need, 10 grants to researchers, 10 awards for research done on drama therapy, and much more!!
