Choose Your Impact: Where Your Gift Goes

When health and education walk hand-in-hand, students win. But school health professionals—nurses, counselors, and educators—need the right tools to make that happen. Your donation to ASHA directly funds the professional development, evidence-based research, and national advocacy required to create school environments where health is a priority, not an afterthought. You can direct your support to a specific area of school health that resonates with you.

We invite our Past-Presidents, Board Members, Award Winners, Fellows, and most dedicated supporters to join the American School Health Association (ASHA) Century Club. Founded under the leadership of Dr. Larry Olsen, the Century Club is a prestigious circle of donors dedicated to celebrating 100 years of transforming schools into places where every student thrives. This is more than a donation—it is a commitment to the next century of school health. Strategic Growth: 100% of Century Club contributions will remain untouched for 10 years, allowing the fund to grow and collect interest. Empowering the Next Generation: Starting at the 110th Annual ASHA Conference, the income from this endowment will begin exclusively sponsoring student attendance. Your gift today ensures that the future leaders of our profession always have a seat at the table.

 

Your contribution to the General Fund is the most versatile way to support ASHA. These gifts provide the essential operational and administrative foundation required to keep our organization strong, stable, and responsive. The Impact: By supporting our core infrastructure, you ensure that ASHA has the professional staff, technology, and resources needed to manage our programs, lead national advocacy efforts, and deliver high-quality services to our members. This fund allows us to pivot quickly to emerging school health crises while maintaining the day-to-day excellence our community expects. Best for: Donors who want to ensure the long-term sustainability and effectiveness of the association.

Invest in the future of the profession. This fund provides financial assistance to students pursuing degrees in school health-related fields. The Impact: Your gift lowers the barrier to entry for the next generation of school nurses, health educators, and counselors.

Professional development shouldn’t be limited by a zip code or a budget. These awards provide stipends to help school health professionals and students—who may otherwise lack the funding—attend our Annual School Health Conference. The Impact: You are putting a professional in the room where they can learn, network, and bring evidence-based practices back to their local school district.

The Journal of School Health (JOSH) is the premier publication for school health research. Donating to Special Issues helps fund deep-dive publications on critical, timely topics such as student mental health, nutrition, or health equity. The Impact: You are directly supporting the dissemination of peer-reviewed research that changes how schools operate nationwide.

Ensure that your commitment to school health continues for generations to come. By including the American School Health Association in your will or estate plan, you make a permanent investment in the future of our children. The Impact: A legacy gift provides the long-term capital ASHA needs to remain a national leader in school health. Your foresight ensures that future students will always have advocates fighting for the healthy school environments they need to thrive. Why Choose Planned Giving: This is a powerful way to make a significant impact without affecting your current cash flow or lifestyle. It allows you to “etch your mark” on the future of the profession. How to Include ASHA in Your Plans Including ASHA in your estate planning is a simple process.
