April 15, 2025 – The American Cleft Palate Craniofacial Association (ACPA) is excited to announce a newly formed partnership with EduCleft: The Institute for Cleft and Craniofacial Education, Research and Innovation, a global nonprofit committed to advancing evidence-based care through professional training and education.

As part of this new collaboration, EduCleft has generously committed $25,000 to support ACPA’s Webinar Program over the next five years. This funding will enhance ACPA’s ability to provide high-quality, accessible virtual education to cleft and craniofacial healthcare providers around the world.

“We are deeply grateful to EduCleft for their generous support and shared vision for advancing cleft and craniofacial care through education,” said Charlene Bell, Senior Manager of Development and Strategic Partnerships at ACPA. “This partnership allows us to expand our reach and continue providing valuable resources to providers around the globe.”

EduCleft President and Founder Dr. Pedro Santiago added, “EduCleft is proud to partner with ACPA in furthering professional education. We believe that well-informed, well-trained providers are key to improving outcomes for individuals born with cleft and craniofacial conditions.”

EduCleft remains committed to supporting ACPA’s educational initiatives, and this partnership reflects both organizations’ dedication to knowledge-sharing and lifelong learning in the cleft and craniofacial care community.
