The Foundation is the charitable arm of the American Society of Safety Professionals, focusing on educational programs that advance the profession we serve, developing tomorrow’s safety leaders, and supporting research to expand the knowledge of the safety community.
When you give to the ASSP Foundation, you support the entire ASSP community and beyond.
The American Society of Safety Professionals Foundation, established by and in partnership with the American Society of Safety Professionals, generates funding and provides resources for scholarships, applied research, academic accreditation, and related academic initiatives in order to advance the safety, health and environmental profession.
We are ASSP. The ASSP Foundation was chartered in 1990 by the ASSP Board of Directors. The ASSP Foundation is a 501(c)3, and all donations to the organization are tax-deductible.
Serving as the charitable arm of ASSP, the ASSP Foundation provides financial and programmatic support of the profession on behalf of ASSP and the ASSP community.
When donors give to the ASSP Foundation, they are supporting the work of ASSP and its Foundation. Together, we are ASSP.
The 2018 ASSP Foundation annual report tells the stories behind the numbers. It’s an opportunity to step back and celebrate what our donors have done over the past year. Take a look at the stories within the report for a glimpse at how your donations are changing lives.
Hundreds of students are closer to reaching their dreams of graduating as a safety professional and those already in the field have resources to enhance their skillsets. You have funded groundbreaking research on fatigue in the workplace and given the next generation of leaders a chance to understand what’s ahead of them.
It’s been an amazing year. Thank you for letting the ASSP Foundation be part of your story…
