African
V VVV Studies Association 50 Year Anniversaries Fundraising Campaign
Dear African Studies Association Community,
For many of us the Annual Meeting of the ASA is a cherished event that we anticipate each year, looking forward to seeing old friends, contacting colleagues, and learning about new publications and other resources. For those of us who teach in smaller colleges or who are independent scholars, and practitioners, the ASA provides an important professional home where we can connect with others who share our interests and concerns.
But the Annual Meeting, publications, awards and prizes, information exchange, and other services provided by the ASA will only be possible if the ASA secures its fi nancial future. One important measure is to increase the endowment. In honor of the 50th anniversaries of the founding of the organization and of our fi rst Annual Meeting, we are asking each member to make a special contribution. Our minimal request is for $50 in honor of the 50th anniversaries, though if you are able to respond with a larger contribution that will be most welcome.
Every contribution is important and every donation counts. A 100% participation rate would be truly impressive!
Be a part of the ASA’s success. You can make a contribution in any of the following ways:
Online: www.africanstudies.org and click on the “Donate Today” link to log in to your ASA account, and register to make a contribution. By fax: 732-932-3394 By phone: 732-932-8173 x10 By email: [email protected] By mail: African Studies Association Rutgers U, Douglass Campus 132 George Street New Brunswick, NJ 08901-1400 USA
Please help to achieve our goal of $500,000. The ASA is a 501(c)(3) organization; contributions are tax deductible. A receipt for your contribution will be sent via email and you may also print a receipt from your online ASA account. Please contact your employer about a Matching Gift Form, and matching a spouse’s contribution. Thank you!
