A community of people, linked and inspired by a shared passion for the field of association management, support the ASAE Research Foundation, enabling it to pursue and achieve its ambitious agenda.
Our Supporters
The ASAE Research Foundation recognizes organizational supporters and individual supporters of our work. The foundation is also proud to have the support of our growing giving circles community and our Lifetime Circle Donors.

Being a membership professional means encouraging my association’s members to invest in us. I try to practice what I preach by giving back to the organization that has given so much to me. I highly encourage all ASAE members and supporters to help fund foundation research initiatives that continually grow our visibility and strength as an industry.
— Lauren Hefner, CAE, Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association
