Club 1950 FAQs

How do I become a Club member?

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.

Do I have to make a pledge?

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.

Can I set up a monthly donation/make monthly installments?

Yes, you can commit to Club 1950 by setting up a monthly recurring gift of $162.50.* Join the growing Club 1950 community by setting up your monthly gift today.

_{You must be logged into your AASLD account to make monthly contributions. Payments can be made via a checking account or credit card. If you want assistance setting this up, please contact us at}_{Foundation@aasld.org.}*

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Yes. The AASLD Foundation is tax-exempt under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions made to the AASLD Foundation are deductible charitable contributions to the extent permitted by 170 of the Internal Revenue Code.
