Our Mission is to provide leadership and financial resources to further the role of the agronomic, crop, and soil sciences in global crop production, and to promote human welfare within a sustainable environment.

The Agronomic Science Foundation (ASF) has been a non-profit 501 c(3) organization since 1968 and during this time it has accomplished many goals. The numerous and generous contributions from donors have been used to fund student programs, scholarships, lectureships, conferences, awards, international travel, and other programs not covered by Society membership dues. As a donor, you can take pride in the fact that your gift—no matter what size you are able to give—will have a significant impact on the future of agronomy, crop and soil science.

ASF makes your contribution go further! Since it is supported by the American Society of Agronomy (ASA), Crop Science Society of America (CSSA), and Soil Science Society of America (SSSA) there is little to no overhead, so your donation goes to directly support our programs.

The ASF Board of Trustees serves as the governing body for the Foundation and maintains an active role in soliciting funds for the Foundation and support of ASA, CSSA, and SSSA activities, programs and projects. They consider suggestions of activities, programs, and projects worthy of support by the Foundation. Such suggestions may come from ASF Board members, from any officer or member of ASA, CSSA, or SSSA, or from others having a mutual interest in the objectives of the Foundation.

The Agronomic Science Foundation raises, invests and distributes funds for the benefit of our members, students, and future contributors to our scientific community!
