The ASC Foundation has several giving programs that embrace the Society’s Mission. You can support the ASC and the future of cytopathology in a number of ways.

Mentorship has always been important to the ASC. Our organization is more than a professional platform for scientific exchange! It provides a vehicle for continuous professional development, recognition of exceptional talent,
and collaboration across institutions. It also provides links from one generation to the next.

Mentorship is important to the ASC. Every year through the ASC Foundation’s Make a Star of Your Mentor Program, our members fill the heavens with starred mentors who have contributed time and expertise to benefit others.
We also want Mentors to celebrate their Mentees and their accomplishments by honoring them through the “Diamonds in the Rough” program. As Mentors, you celebrate the legacy of those you have trained, and those who make you proud when they give a lecture, or when you read an article they have written.
Whether you are surprising them with a cup of coffee or just leaving notes of thanks on their desks, honoring colleagues should be an important part of celebrating and publicizing the rewarding work you and your colleagues do. Honoring your colleagues lets them know that you appreciate what they do and that they have done a good job!
The American Society of Cytopathology Foundation is pleased to continue the ASC Legacy Fund, a lectureship in honor of Dr. Leopold Koss. Stimulated by a gift from Dr. Leopold Koss to endow a lectureship in his honor, the Foundation created the ASC Legacy Fund in 2009. This fund endows a lectureship to honor Dr. Koss for his long involvement in cytopathology research, teaching and patient care, and his many contributions to the ASC. The lecture is presented annually at the ASC’s Annual Scientific Meeting by a prominent scientist with a national/international reputation in a scientific discipline pertinent to the field of cytopathology.
Every level of giving is important, as each gift supports the ASC Foundation’s greatest needs. The Foundation has several recognition levels that honor our most generous and loyal donors.

The ASC Foundation greatly appreciates your support of the Society’s commitment of Fighting Cancer, Saving Lives.
As outcomes of the ASC strategic plan and in support of the Society’s mission, the ASC Foundation will concentrate on education, advocacy and research. You can direct your contribution to the following programs:
Education is assured through annual scientific meetings; distance learning by webinars and internet‐based technologies; maintenance and accreditation of training programs for Cytology‐based fellowships.
The ASC considers Advocacy as the promotion of the cytologic method for the early detection, prevention and treatment of cancer. Advocacy is directed at Professional Practice, Health Care Policy and Patients.
The ASC is the principal conduit for dissemination of research findings relevant to cytopathology. The ASC Foundation routinely awards grants and funding for projects that result in publications of findings relevant to the practice of cytopathology and the application of new technology. Moreover, the ASC Foundation funds projects related to translational research to develop new technologies in cytopathology. The ASC also funds research to support best practices in cytopathology.
Many employers’ offer matching gift programs to encourage employees to contribute to charitable organizations. Some provide matching funds made by retirees and/or spouses. Most of these programs match contributions dollar for dollar, and some will even double or triple the amount of your gift! To find out if your employer will match gifts to the ASC Foundation, please check with your employer’s human resource office about a matching gift program.
