Gift boosts initiative

Thanks to support from the Simmons Sisters Fund at Texas Women’s Foundation, social work Professor Richard Hoefer is launching an initiative focused on promoting social policy advocacy through educating community organizations, students, and social workers.

With the $325,000 gift from the Simmons Sisters Fund, Dr. Hoefer will be able to translate his passion for social justice into a program designed to inspire and educate social workers and leaders of community organizations to become more effective in policy advocacy.
