Overview

Mission

The clinical social work association represents, protects, and amplifies the voices of clinical social workers as we strive to create a just, healthy, and inclusive society. Cswa promotes the highest standards of professional practice through advocacy, supporting the effectiveness of state societies, and facilitating educational opportunities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Government relations - our government relations program allows us to have a director and deputy director of policy and practice who track relevant national/federal policies. Their work includes informing members of policies that directly affect clinical social workers and our clients, as well as advocating to elected officials and other groups that make and influence these policies. This adds significant value to our members.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 69% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
