Why should I sponsor AASuccess?
AASuccess provides the infrastructure for the scholar development program and stipend based internship projects. While all of the administrative effort is currently through unpaid volunteers and matched donations provided by our board of directors, we need financial assistance to fund internship projects and our annual AASuccess Scholarship Program.
By sponsoring AASuccess you show your support for our mission and help sustain a vibrant organization. Sponsorship also shows your support for qualified students, who have both excelled in school and practices life skill learning resources via AASuccess Resources, and provides you the opportunity to "give back" to the community.
Finally, since AASuccess is non-profit organization, sponsorship provides attractive tax benefits.
Where will my sponsorship funds go?
Every cent of every donation directly to either scholarship program or internship based program. All administrative and office rental cost is either matched or sponsored by our board of directors.
AASuccess is a private operating foundation that is registered as a non-profit, charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
