Donations and Bequests

The ASAA has been fortunate to be the recipient of donations and bequests over the years. The generosity of members goes a long way to supporting the work of ASAA and its members.

ASAA is registered as a charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), however we do not currently have Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status.

Donations

Please contact the President and the Treasurer if you are interested in giving a donation. The ASAA is grateful to receive donations either for the general work of the Association, or for a specific purpose that aligns with our mission and focus on promoting and supporting Asian studies in Australia.
