Join the ASEEES Legacy Society

The Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES) is committed to advancing research, education, and dialogue within Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies.

The ASEEES Legacy Society honors those who make plans – or have already made plans – to support ASEEES with a bequest through their will or estate planning. Membership in the Legacy Society is open to anyone who documents their intention to make a future gift, regardless of the size of the gift or estate. There is no minimum donation required.

Thank you for considering a legacy gift to the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies. Your support will have a lasting impact on future generations of scholars and research in the region.

We are delighted to support the Future of the Field Campaign as founding members of the ASEEES Legacy Society. Through our estate, we will create an endowment to fund future scholarship on religion and politics. A bequest makes it possible for us to honor our decades of membership in ASEEES today and to help sustain the field for generations to come.
