Donate to ISSTD
Each year, ISSTD offers funding opportunities for research and education focused on complex trauma and dissociation. ISSTD members and supporters make these opportunities possible when they donate to any of our five funds.
You can now donate monthly, with a recurring donation, automatically. When setting up your donation, select “Recurring Monthly Donation (until cancelled)”. That’s it! When your donation is processed each month, you will receive an automatic receipt to your email address that you provide on checkout.
Below please find a description of each fund and the link to make a one-time donation or a monthly recurring donation.
General Fund
The General Fund provides funding to expand ISSTD programming, including training and education, research, and member benefits. In recent years, contributions to the General Fund have introduced new technology platforms, expanded online training, grown student and emerging professional membership, and much more!
Restricted Funds – Funding for Research and Education
David Caul Graduate Research Fund
The David Caul Graduate Research Fund supports student research primarily focused on dissociation or closely related topics. Named after David Caul, MD, the fourth president of ISSTD in 1987, this award honors his dedication and leadership in the field of dissociation.
