About the FSAE Foundation
Foundation Mission: Support education, research, professional development, publications, and public relations efforts for the association management professional.
The FSAE Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization founded in December 1984 with the purpose of enhancing the Society’s programs and services through education, grants, research and certification initiatives. The FSAE Foundation continues to be supported entirely by voluntary, tax-deductible contributions and grants from corporate donors.
For the past 20+ years, the Foundation has awarded 423 grants totaling $254,795 for members to attend educational conferences or earn their CAE/CMP designations. Over $387,700 has been used to underwrite speakers and education at the FSAE Annual Conference and over $409,000 has been used to implement Foundation initiatives including industry reports and surveys.
Giving back to your profession guarantees that association professionals will continue to have the best education and resources available to excel in their career, and in the industry. Make an Investment

Our efforts will be guided by the following values:
- Leadership in professional development and certification of association management professionals
- Excellence in scholarship, research, education, training, and collaboration
- Integrity in everything we do
- Accountability and service to each other, our state, and our industry
- Respect for the intrinsic worth of individuals and their ideas, including staff, boards, members, suppliers, volunteers, and donors
- Commitment to racial, cultural, demographic, and gender diversity in our policies, personnel, and programs
