Legacy Society

Donors who have committed to supporting the association community in their long-term plans through a planned gift pledge of at least $15,000.

Each donor designates where they entrust their planned commitment within the ASAE Research Foundation aligning to the key verticals of its mission, research, scholarships and grants, and gain greater access to advancing the future of the association industry.
