Foundation Mission: Support education, research, professional development, publications, and public relations efforts for the association management professional. The FSAE Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization founded in December 1984 with the purpose of enhancing the Society’s programs and services through education, grants, research and certification initiatives. The FSAE Foundation continues to be supported entirely by voluntary, tax-deductible contributions and grants from corporate donors.
For the past 20+ years, the Foundation has awarded 423 grants totaling $254,795 for members to attend educational conferences or earn their CAE/CMP designations. Over $362,700 has been used to underwrite speakers and education at the FSAE Annual Conference and over $389,000 has been used to implement Foundation initiatives including industry reports and surveys.
