Fund for the Advancement of Jungian Psychoanalysis (FAJP)

Guidelines for Applications for Grants

The FAJP is a charitable fund (registered in the UK) that has been established to assist IAAP Developing Groups and Router Programmes worldwide. Money may be granted to a Developing Group or to a Router Group for activities that foster education in the field of analytical psychology within these groups and encourage the training of IAAP routers to become internationally recognised Jungian analysts.

NB Applications will NOT be accepted from individuals.

The FAJP makes decisions independently of IAAP but consults about the appropriateness of applications received with the IAAP Officers/Executive Committee. Jan Wiener (Vice President of the IAAP) is one of the trustees and will liaise with the IAAP about applications. Martin Shaw is Treasurer.

Postal grant applications may be received through the Charity at FAJP c/o The Society of Analytical Psychology (SAP) at 1, Daleham Gardens, London NW3 5BY UK. They may also be received online via the FAJP website the instructions given there. The applications will be forwarded in the first instance to Pramila Bennett, Catherine Crowther and Jan Wiener and later to the other trustees of the Charity. If accepted and grants are offered, the money will be transferred to the IAAP accountant in Zurich to be held in an account earmarked for the specific Developing Group or Router Group and administered in the usual way by the IAAP.

Some examples of suitable requests for grants:

  • Travel costs of visiting Jungian analysts, e.g. lecturers, teachers, shuttle supervisors and shuttle analysts, including visas
  • Accommodation, living expenses, interpreters’ fees etc. for visiting analysts
  • Travel costs of DG members and routers to conferences, seminars, supervision, personal analysis etc
  • Purchase of books
  • Translation of books and articles
  • Purchase of telephone and/or video conferencing equipment to encourage distance learning

This is not an exhaustive list, and Developing Groups and Router Groups will be able to make other requests that are appropriate to their circumstances. However, grants cannot be given to cover the cost of conference fees or fees paid by individuals to analysts for teaching, supervision or personal analysis.

In the year 2011, applications can be made for a grant of up to the value of 10,000 CHF.

Applications will be considered every four months with deadlines of 30th April, 31st August and 31st December 2011. Only one application per Developing Group or Router Group may be made in any one year.

Requests to the FAJP for a grant should include the following information:

  • a general account of the Developing Group/Router Group’s membership, activities, circumstances, organisational structures
  • the current training needs of the Developing Group or Router Group
  • money given to the Group now and in the past by the IAAP
  • a detailed budget with an up to date estimate of specific costs, hours, airfares etc
  • the names of two people who are willing to write in support of the application, whom FAJP can approach for references

FAJP will expect yearly reports of how the money has been used and how it has helped the DG or Router Group.
