2025 ASA Donor Acknowledgements

ASA is grateful to all its donors for their generous support this and every year, including many donors that chose to honor loved ones by supporting ASA Funds. Only with the collective support of individuals can ASA make a difference.

If you are looking to support the ASA’s mission and programming, or would like to honor a loved one, we hope that you will consider making a gift. Your charitable donation directly impacts academics and professionals in the field by providing access to career-changing opportunities, acknowledgements, and resources.

When making a gift, select a Fund in the dropdown menu to specify where you gift should be allocated, or make a gift to the General or Restricted Fund to support ongoing ASA programs, awards, and opportunities. The African Studies Association is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, EIN: 58-1832301
