Club 1950 FAQs

Any donor giving $1950 and above will be included in the Club. The donor year is based on the calendar year; however, if you choose to give in December each year, we will extend the benefits to you over the course of the next year.   

While there is no formal pledge commitment, we hope donors will join annually. We hope you will continue to give at or above that level each year moving forward, but committing as a Founding Member does not automatically opt you in for the following year. Contact us at Foundation@aasld.org to set up a renewing gift.
