Making a Difference Today for Tomorrow

ASA Minority Fellowship Program Campaign Logo

The MFP is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2024! In recognition of this anniversary, and looking forward to the future, ASA has embarked on an ambitious fundraising campaign, “Making a Difference Today for Tomorrow,” to help ensure the program’s sustainability for many years to come. We are serving as co-chairs of the campaign. As former Fellows, we have much good in our lives that comes from having been recipients of this remarkable award. We are delighted to be giving back to the program by leading this campaign.

We all have committed meaningful donations ourselves, and we hope you will join us in this effort.

We hope that through this effort we will be able to increase the stipends offered to future Fellows, increase the number of Fellows we can support each year, extend the life of the MFP, and make sure the program remains responsive to changing needs.

Please read our Case for Support. Note that you may contribute now (please make sure to select the Making a Difference Today for Tomorrow Campaign for the Minority Fellowship Program), or you may choose to pledge an amount to be paid over the next few years.

Thank you in advance for your help in securing the long-term future of the Minority Fellowship Program.  Your donation will be publicly recognized in Footnotes, on a digital recognition wall, in campaign materials, and in other ways as the campaign goes forward.
