Currently with our system, donations made online with a credit card will require you to sign up for an ASID account unless you already have one. If you do not have an account you can create one without becoming a paying ASID member. When making a donation online by credit card, you will automatically receive a donation receipt by email.
Donations by check can be sent to the following address. Please make checks payable to “ASID Foundation” and on the top of the check make a note if there is a named fund to which you wish to direct this. Donation receipts will be mailed after donations are processed. Mail your check to:

Legacy Giving
Planned Giving
The ASID Foundation has established The Legacy Society to provide a number of Planned Giving methods. Be sure to include the ASID Foundation in your estate/financial planning. Some of the benefits of proper planning are:
- Bypassing capital gains tax on appreciated property
- Increasing your current income
- Reducing current income taxes
- Receiving a charitable income tax deduction
- Reducing federal estate taxes
- Conserving future assets for your loved ones
To learn more about planned giving and to speak to an ASID Staff Member for further information, please contact foundation@asid.org or call (202) 675-4443.
*The ASID Foundation is unable to accept gifts of equipment, gems, artwork, or real estate.
Tributes & Memorials
Tribute gifts, given in the name of a loved one, are unique expressions of thoughtfulness. At the ASID Foundation, there are two types of tribute gifts:
Honor gifts
Honor gifts recognize a person on a special occasion, such as a birthday, wedding, or anniversary.
Memorial gifts
If you would like your loved one, or their family, to receive a special acknowledgment that recognizes the honoree and the donation, please contact one of our Trustees or e-mail us at foundation@asid.org.
