ASAA Fund for tax-deductible donations
The Asian Studies Association of Australia Fund has been established at the Australian National University and will be managed under the ANU's Endowment for Excellence. Under this arrangement, ASAA enjoys administrative, financial and secretarial services at minimal cost and the investment benefits of being part of a large fund. In addition, donations are tax deductible.
The Fund will be used to encourage and reward excellence in scholarship on Asia by funding a distinguished scholar who is to give a public lecture in Australia in the field of Asian studies; or rewarding a person whose PhD thesis has been accepted at an Australian University on a topic focused on Asia or the relations between Australia and Asia; or rewarding a person who has the potential to make a significant academic contribution to the field of Asian studies, as agreed by the Committee; or such other purposes as recommended by the Council of ASAA and communicated to the ANU in writing which the ASAA considers will advance and develop interest in the field of Asian studies throughout Australia.
The Fund has been opened with donations from past Presidents of the Association. Now we are appealing to the membership to make their contribution.
