The ASCFG Research Foundation was formed in 2004 as a 501(c)(3) organization. This non-profit and tax-exempt status allows the Research Foundation to apply for grants and to raise money for larger research projects that would be conducted by universities. The Research Foundation is currently funded solely by ASCFG member donations and the Research Auction held every year at the national convention, but is currently in the process of applying for grants. The ASCFG Research Foundation supports a competitive grant program open to universities, governmental agencies, and other tax-exempt organizations. Click here to download grant application
