ACSM Foundation

Since 1954, the American College of Sports Medicine has been the leading organization in sports medicine and exercise science. In 1984, the ACSM Foundation was organized to help support the work of the college. Since that time, the ACSM Foundation has grown into a successful entity of its own.

The Foundation is the fundraising arm of the college. It is actively seeking gifts from the membership, as well as corporate sponsorship dollars. As members of this prestigious organization, you can demonstrate your leadership and commitment to the College by providing personal and financial support to the Annual Fund. ACSM relies on the contributions from all of our members to further its mission.

In addition to its fundraising activities, the Foundation maintains several endowments. Most of these endowments make cash awards each year in various areas of sports medicine and exercise science. Each year these endowments grow, fueled by the generosity and commitment of leaders like you in the study of sports medicine and exercise science. In total, nearly $100,000 in awards are made to ACSM members each year to support research. Many of these award recipients are young investigators making initial contributions to furthering science.

In its brief 20-year history, the ACSM Foundation has helped ensure that ACSM continue its legacy as a world leader in sports medicine and exercise science. By providing crucial funds to the College and awarding funds to promising researchers, ACSM and the Foundation are working together to fulfill the College's mission. Your gift to the Foundation will help strengthen programs today and have a lasting impact in the future.
