The Nancy Steiny Legacy Fund for Clinical Excellence

It is with deep respect and gratitude for Nancy Steiny and her long dedication to the work of the Southern California Counseling Center that we announce the creation of the Nancy Steiny Legacy Fund for Excellence in Clinical Training. It serves as a lasting tribute to her clinical wisdom as well as her efforts to build a remarkable program of training and support for counselors over more than four decades.

The Legacy Fund is supported by individuals and organizations committed to life-long learning and professional development for those serving the client populations of SCCC.  Nancy loved the Center and truly gave it her all.  She seemed most in her element when she was learning from others and when others were learning from her.  SCCC has long been a pre-eminent training center for therapists and paraprofessionals.  It is essential that the spirit of learning and growth that Nancy epitomized continues.

We wish to express our sincere appreciation to donors Grant Abramson and Miriam Muscarolas who provide not only the lead gift of $10,000 that makes the Legacy Fund possible, but also additional matching funds up to $15,000 as others join in this commitment. Given this jump start we would like to raise $100,000 to keep Nancy’s legacy of excellence in training alive.  We seek to create a range of resources that will strengthen training at SCCC now and for many years to come.  We sincerely hope you will join us in making a lasting tribute to Nancy and her work, as well as in support of SCCC’s dedicated volunteers and their work.  To make a contribution online, please visit sccc-la.org/steinyfund.  You can also process a donation over the phone by calling Alyssa at (323) 904-3215.

Warm Regards,
