APA Practice Organization
APApractice.org is a service of the American Psychological Association (APA) Practice Organization. The Practice Organization is an affiliate of APA whose mission is to promote the professional interests of practicing psychologists in all settings through a wide range of activities. As a separately incorporated 501(c)6 organization, the Practice Organization is able to advocate on behalf of the profession of psychology free of the Internal Revenue Service provisions that constrain advocacy activities of a 501(c)3 organization such as APA. The APA Practice Organization is housed administratively in the Practice Directorate.
The services and activities of the Practice Organization are funded in part by monies received from the Practice Assessment of licensed APA members.
