Individuals qualify to receive an invitation to the President’s Reception during the ASH Annual Meeting & Exposition through various criteria, one of which is personal, cumulative philanthropy in the amount of $2,500 or more during the twelve month period of December 1 in the prior year to November 30 of the current year. Invitations to the ASH President’s Reception are for that year only and do not confer an invitation in subsequent years. As is the case with all charitable gifts to the ASH Foundation, one hundred percent goes directly to the ASH program designated by the donor; ASH Foundation donations have never been used to subsidize the President’s Reception.
The deductible portion of your contribution is limited to the excess of the amount contributed over the value of goods or services provided by the Foundation. The fair market value of the 2026 President's Reception is $226.10 per person (i.e., $452.20 for an invited person plus his/her guest). The fair market value of the 2026 Honorific Reception is $60.00 per person (i.e., $120.00 for an invited person plus his/her guest).
About the ASH Foundation
The ASH Foundation was established in 2012 as a division of the American Society of Hematology, a 501(c)(3) charitable and educational organization. The foundation is governed by ASH’s Executive Committee and exists to align donors’ charitable giving interests with the mission and priorities of the Society.
Mission Statement
The ASH Foundation is dedicated to helping hematologists conquer blood diseases worldwide – moving hematology forward through charitable support for research, career development, and quality care and education programs.
Because of strong institutional support from ASH, 100% of all charitable donations to the ASH Foundation directly benefit programs sponsored by ASH and are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
ASH and gifts to the ASH Foundation have a tremendous impact on hematology in terms of supporting basic and clinical research, clinical care, and fostering the development of the next generation of caregivers and researchers in hematology. ASH is pursuing major initiatives in sickle cell disease, patient registries, precision medicine, immunology, and hematology workforce recruitment and retention, complementing the Society’s ongoing core competencies, including the ASH Hematology Inclusion Pathway, research awards, career development and training, and global programs. For nearly sixty years, ASH has hosted the world’s preeminent hematology meeting, and the Society showcases the best research in hematology in Blood, the most cited peer-reviewed publication in the field.
Your generous support will help ASH enhance and strengthen these programs; together, we can assure that patients everywhere have access to the very finest in hematologic care. The ultimate beneficiaries of gifts to the ASH Foundation are patients battling blood diseases.
Blood is life; ASH is life-saving.
