Inspire ● Ignite ● Invest - Enriching Animal Science:

Over the past 115 years, the American Society of Animal Science (ASAS) has evolved into a multi-faceted professional society, including establishing the ASAS Foundation as the philanthropic branch of ASAS.

This campaign, "Inspire ● Ignite ● Invest," is more than just a slogan; it is a commitment to creating a family-like atmosphere where every member feels valued, inspired, and empowered to make a difference.

Inspire is our opportunity to unlock the potential within ourselves and others and to open our hearts and minds to new possibilities. It is about sharing the joy and wisdom we cherish and using them as powerful tools to uplift and transform one another and our world. Through the ASAS Foundation, our collective efforts make a meaningful impact. 

Ignite is the spark that fuels our inspiration, lights up our passion, and drives us to achieve greatness. It is the catalyst that encourages us to push boundaries and explore new horizons in animal science. Igniting this passion within ourselves and others creates a ripple effect, leading to innovative ideas and groundbreaking discoveries.

Invest in our community to cultivate the next generation of scientists and leaders. This investment is not just a charitable contribution; it is a powerful declaration of faith in the potential of future innovators. By dedicating ourselves to this cause, we are planting seeds of knowledge and opportunity that will grow into a forest of groundbreaking achievements. Our commitment today will empower young minds to dream bigger, think bolder, and lead with courage and compassion.

Your charitable contributions will be the spark that not only inspires and ignites the passion of animal scientists at every stage of their journey but also fuels their dreams and aspirations. Let us embrace this chance to inspire change, motivate each other to reach new heights, and contribute to a legacy of innovation, compassion, and progress that will resonate for generations to come.
