The Next 50 Years:
Ensuring the Future of ICP
Why We Need Your Support

- Provide over 25,000 therapy sessions annually to more than 500 patients, with 25% covered by Medicaid.
- Offer a sliding-scale fee structure for those without insurance, with session fees starting at just $35 for students and a median of $50 per session.
- Serve a diverse population: 32% BIPOC patients, 46% LGBTQIA+ patients
- Train the next generation of culturally competent mental health clinicians while offering financial aid and scholarships to diversify the clinical workforce of NYC. In the 2024/25 academic year, 36% of our 116 candidates received either a scholarship or financial aid.
A Matching Opportunity to Double Your Impact
We are excited to announce that board members have generously stepped forward with a matching grant offer, meaning every dollar you donate will be doubled. This is a remarkable opportunity to amplify your impact and help ICP reach its ambitious goals.
