The Picerne Family Foundation is now accepting applications for the 2023
Vision Initiatives Program.
The Vision Initiatives Program gives health care, mental health and education professionals the opportunity to fulfill a dream initiative of their choice.
The Picerne Family Foundation has created the Vision Initiatives Program to foster and support health care, mental health and teaching professionals who have both the vision to see ways to improve services in their fields and the initiative to carry them out. The goal of this program is to enhance the services these professionals provide while at the same time providing stimulus to their careers.
The Foundation invites accomplished and motivated health care, mental health and education professionals to propose “the project of their dreams”, a program that they feel will have real and lasting impact for their patients, clients or students. The Foundation’s role is to provide the funding to help fulfill that dream. The Foundation provides multi-year grants and organizational consultation in support of the program.
