Donations

Annual Giving to ASU Foundation: During the winter months of each year, the Association seeks donations from its members in order to make a financial contribution to the ASU Foundation at our annual Mid-Winter conference. In administering gifts, this chapter acts in a fiduciary capacity. All gifts are administered in strict compliance with the instructions of the donor. When a gift is not accompanied by instructions, it is administered as an unrestricted gift; that is, it is used to fulfill the greatest needs of Alcorn State University as determined by the essential faculty representative and the President of the University.

Chapter support donations are encouraged throughout the year for the ultimate benefit of Alcorn State University.

Corporate Giving With the increasing labor force focus on the fields of math, science, liberal arts and technology, it goes without saying that these are essential areas of collegiate education in creating tomorrow's workforce. For more than thirty years the ASU Alumni Association of Washington, DC Metropolitan Area has supported making a quality education in these areas of study a reality for students by seeking financial support from our corporate community. As a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization that promotes the welfare of committed students by providing financial assistance for educational purposes only. The ASU Alumni Association Scholarship is a program that addresses this issue. You can be assured that 100% of your tax deductible contribution will be designated for the ASU Alumni Association Scholarship program. In addition, the scholarship will be in your company name in recognition of your corporate contribution.

Annually in April, the Alumni Association hosts a Scholarship Fundraiser Event to support our scholarship program mission to help generate financial assistance for education purposes. Typically during this time, alumni members are charged with the responsibility of selling tickets or making a donation to this event to benefit the overall success and net proceeds available for giving.
