For the sixth year in a row, ASA members have broken the annual fund record. In 2014, more than 800 members contributed over $87,000 in support of the ASA’s important programs and initiatives. That is a 29% increase over 2013! Thank you to everyone who made 2014’s annual fund such a success.

The ASA is uniquely positioned to build upon the rich history of statistics and to understand the needs of and opportunities for the future. Our association has the leadership, influence, and vision to address these needs and opportunities. As a nonprofit organization, the ASA relies on financial support from its members and corporate partners to build upon the important work to support our field and to remain relevant and viable for the future.

“The ASA, throughout its long history, has brought statisticians together as professionals,” says Stan Altan, senior director of nonclinical statistics and computing at Jannsen Pharmaceutical R&D. “It has enhanced our professionalism through conferences, publications, and, perhaps most importantly, advocacy. In the sense that it contains the ‘tribal’ knowledge of our profession, the ASA is invaluable not only to statisticians, but to other professions, and to society. It’s also a key resource to help statisticians grow their careers. So, I support the ASA as it continues to play these critical roles. Its success depends largely on the membership—on each of us recognizing how vital it is and contributing as much to our organization as we can, in whatever way we can.”

Mary Kwasny, associate professor of biostatistics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, spends a lot of time researching the nonprofits she gives to in order to ensure the organization’s goals match with her own philanthropic goals. “I want to make sure that they are ‘doing something good’ with the money and that their goals match with what I want to have happen with my donation,” she says. “Before I got involved with the business of the ASA, I really hadn’t thought about donating to a professional organization. Then it dawned on me that it fits my criteria probably more so than many nonprofits that I have supported in the past. The ASA does not depend on my donation, but it can do a bit more with the donations I give.

The ASA helps many different target audiences. From the JobWeb and STATtr@k, section webinars, chapter visits, advances in policy, K–12 education efforts, and so on, it’s just nice to know (and be able to trust) that a donation could potentially have an effect at almost any level of my chosen profession. That feels good.”

The generous support of so many ASA members allows the organization to accomplish many important programs and initiatives, including supporting ASA Member Initiative proposals, mentoring programs, and opportunities for career enhancement; advocating to Congress and others through the ASA Science Policy program; and offering continuing professional development opportunities, just to name just a few. Looking forward, the ASA will continue to listen and look for ways to best support the membership. We are particularly focused on inspiring students and supporting education, improving public literacy, and expanding advocacy and improving science policy.
