Operations & General Fund

A contribution to our operations general fund. Though we have a very minimal administrative structure and are no longer employing a full-time administrator, it is critical to ensure our continued operations. These basic functions include managing the membership dues, inquiries, database, and mailing lists, as well as hosting and maintaining the website. Funds are also directed toward tax, accounting, and regulatory compliance, as well as managing deposits and payments for various AKRI sponsored events, including the Annual Residential Conference and Dialogues symposia.

Dino Zaninni Scholarship Fund

We endeavor to make our conferences and events accessible to a wide range of participants, preferably without regard to their ability to pay. In order to do this, we maintain a scholarship reserve that has been earmarked for this purpose. This fund is in memory of Dino Zaninni who passionately believed in the power of Group Relations and supported it through his work, teaching, and mentorship.

Texas Center Legacy Fund

The Texas Center Legacy Fund was established to support individuals in the AKRI Training and Certification Program in their development of group relations consulting skills. Financial assistance is available for participation in SG, LG or RAG consultationworkshops, conferences with training groups, and similar events. When the Texas Center closed in 2015, remaining funds were transferred to AKRI in commemoration of the Center’s long-standing commitment to training.
