Breaking records!

This fiscal year (July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026) was a resounding success for ASOR all because of you, our members and donors!

This year, a record 955 people made a gift of $5 or more! Another 190 people made a gift of less than $5 (primarily donations to help with credit card fees), making for a total of 1145 donors. Moreover, the total of all donations in FY 2026 was more than $900,000. Please click on the FY 2026 Honor Roll of Donors to see a list of people who gave at all levels. We are in the process of updating the Lifetime Honor Roll of Donors, so please check it now (and over the next month) to see the amazing list of lifetime supporters. We are continuing to update and check both lists, so please contact us with any corrections or comments (info@asor.org).

Why does high donor participation matter?

Almost half of ASOR’s membership contributed this year—an achievement that sets ASOR apart from nearly every other learned society. Moreover, the high level of donor participation from our membership is viewed positively by foundations and major donors outside ASOR and helps ASOR attract support from them.

Your donations also enable ASOR to carry out our mission. Membership dues and registration fees only account for about a quarter of our annual revenue, so we rely on grants and donations from our members and friends. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps sustain our work. Thank you again for your support. Every donor is important and every gift is meaningful.
