The mission of the ASAE Research Foundation is to expand and promote academic research that advances knowledge in association management and leadership, creating new conversations, and raising the profile of nonprofit research both inside and outside academia.
The Sal Martino Grant for DEI Research focuses on expanding and advancing DEI knowledge in association management and leadership. The grant awards up to $15,000 to a single meritorious proposal each cycle that addresses DEI in the management of nonprofit membership and member-serving organizations. It supports research undertaken by individuals working or studying in an academic environment, association management professionals, and consultants or private contractors in the field. The grant encourages proposals that either focus on DEI as the primary research question or incorporate DEI within a broader research theme such as membership development, volunteer management, or board governance. The aim is to foster collaborative research efforts between academic scholars and practical professionals to further DEI in association management and leadership.
