Mission
The mission of the APA Foundation is to advance the art and science of planning through philanthropic activities that provide access to educational opportunities, enrich the public dialogue about planning, and advance social equity in the profession and in our communities.
Community Assistance
The APA Foundation extends expert planning services, including disaster recovery and mitigation planning, to underserved, resource-limited communities in the United States and abroad through Community Planning Assistance Teams and other planning resources.
Reseach
To deepen and spread the impact of planning across all communities, the Foundation is committed to supporting research, providing planners with evidence-based tools and practical solutions to help communities plan for future challenges.
