Membership Support Fund
Member Relief Program
Please help us continue urgent support for members with pressing needs.
Matching Gift Opportunity Extended: Your donation to the APSA Member Relief Program will be automatically doubled by matching funds from APSA Past Presidents.
Whether it is a result of a job loss or the direct impact of COVID-19 on a household, APSA is on the frontline for members and is committed to helping scholars, teachers, students, and practitioners across the discipline.
If you are in a position to make a contribution of $100, $50, or another amount that works best for you, we would be very grateful.
With your generosity, and that of others, we will raise funds for this important cause and continue grants for members in 2021.
When you give, you are not simply helping a member with pressing needs— you are helping a political scientist continue their research, education, and professional development during a difficult time when support is needed most.
MATCHING GIFT OPPORTUNITY

The more members we help together, the more resilient our APSA political science community becomes.
THE RIPPLE EFFECT of you helping members.
When you give to the APSA Member Support Fund, you are not simply helping someone become a member — you are helping them advance their research, education, and professional development during a time when it is needed most.
All donations will directly support individuals who depend on their member benefits, truly now more than ever.
