Giving Day Raises $80k; GivesBack Leadership Team Makes Plans

Amanda Malloy, ASA Director of Development

It continues to be my honor and privilege to work on behalf of such wonderful members and an organization making such an impact on our society. In 2019, we raised more than $233,000 for ASA programs and initiatives, including donations from 991 individuals. Every dollar advances our mission to promote the practice and profession of statistics. Thank you for another great year!

The “Inspired Johnson and Johnson Statistician” and “Anonymous Biostatistician” who matched a total of $11,000 in donations were key to the success of the ASA’s second annual Giving Day. Working together, we raised more than $80,000! We are grateful to each of the 303 donors and those who encouraged fellow ASA members to contribute.

This year, friendly competition added to the fun of ASA Giving Day. There were 43 chapters that participated in the chapter challenge, and 69 universities joined the university challenge. The chapter challenge winner was determined based on percentage of membership who donated, and the university challenge winner was determined based on the total amount raised. Runners-up in the chapter challenge were the Northern Illinois and Philadelphia chapters. Harvard and UCLA were runners-up in the university category.

ASA GivesBack

ASA GivesBack is a program that allows members to give back to the community, network with peers and mentors, and hone leadership skills. It is led by a talented team of early-career and student members who are focused on promoting a culture of philanthropy and fostering a sense of community at the ASA.
The leadership team is planning a GivesBack volunteer event to take place in 2020 that will have a community service focus. The team will be reaching out to members and chapters to help organize local events, so stay tuned. They are also already starting the planning process for a fundraiser to support ASA programs. All ASA members are welcome to join the group and get involved in giving back.

The 2020 ASA GivesBack leadership team includes Dooti Roy (chair), Andrew Dumit (co-chair), Michelle Hsu (fundraising lead), Carlon Zephirin (GivesBack lead), and Emily Dodwell (member at large).

From local communities to public policy, the work of the ASA makes an impact. Your membership, time, and donations are helping us build a world that relies on data and statistical thinking to drive discovery and inform decisions.
