APSA Fund: Powering Essential Elements
Donations enable APSA to continue its century-long effort to provide and expand opportunities for students and scholars. When you support the APSA Annual Fund, you allow us to direct your generosity to areas where funds are needed most. The Fund also enables APSA to organize and launch new initiatives.
You can have a positive impact on the careers and lives of people — researchers, educators, students and the general public — benefitting from APSA programs. While it is impossible to anticipate all the challenges the discipline will meet, your generosity, and that of many others, enables us to make resources available to the political science community.
As a donor, you also have the option of designating your support to a wide variety of program areas within APSA. To earmark for your gift, visit apsanet.org/donate.

- Travel Grant Update: How more scholars will benefit from the APSA Annual Meeting
In 2016, APSA celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Ralph Bunche Summer Institute (RBSI) . At the APSA Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, and again at a special celebration dinner in Washington, DC, we heard over and over about the enduring importance and long-term impact of this program. We are incredibly proud that over 600 students have attended the RBSI over time, and over 20 percent of students are completing or have completed their PhDs. It has one of the largest impacts for programs of this kind.
You know how important it is for APSA to support diversity and inclusion in the discipline. Every year up to 20 rising seniors are selected to participate in this program which provides exposure to the benefits of postgraduate education and the chance to explore the possibilities for their own future.
The RBSI is currently supported by Duke University and APSA. Additionally, we are very fortunate that the National Science Foundation has funded the RBSI, with funding guaranteed through 2021. But we must be ready to support the long-term programming future through other means.
Your gift will be used in its entirety to grow a permanent fund so that future generations benefit from this valuable program. You can make gifts of cash, stocks, and bequests, and pledge your gifts over as many as five years.
If you’d like more information, please feel free to contact Jason Sapia of the APSA Development Team at 202-349-9357 or development@apsanet.org
