As of September 1, 2023, the ASAE Research Foundation launched two new giving circles for donors, Lifetime Giving and Special Campaign Giving.

The Special Campaign Giving Society provides recognition to donors who strongly support the Foundation’s scholarships and grant funding.

Leadership Society*
Over the past eight years, the ASAE Research Foundation's Leadership Society has recognized individual donors and donor organizations working alongside us in supporting the advancement of association and nonprofit management. Specifically, the Leadership Society recognized donors who pledged to contribute $25,000 or more to the ASAE Research Foundation over eight years.
Following an in-depth assessment of the ASAE Research Foundation, in partnership with donors, volunteers, and other critical stakeholders on enhancing the donor experience, we discovered key opportunities for refinement and improvement with donor benefits, and giving circles, like the Leadership Society.
*As of September 1, 2023, the ASAE Research Foundation will no longer accept new pledges for the Leadership Society, however, current Leadership Society Donors will continue to receive their recognition and Platinum-level benefits upon pledge completion.
