AGM Sponsors and Donors

Each year, the JASNA AGM marks a high point in the calendar.  Austen admirers from across North America, and from every continent except Antarctica, have attended past AGMs in person, and for the past five years, the Livestream/Virtual option has made it possible to participate from any location.  The AGM is the center of our global "village," and it makes a vital contribution to Jane Austen studies, JASNA programs, and Jane Austen’s legacy.

Our AGM sponsors and donors are an essential part of that success.

JASNA seeks donations and sponsorships for the AGM from corporations, from JASNA Regions, and from individuals.  Such gifts help us to continue to offer the AGM at a time of unprecedented cost increases in the goods and services that are essential for presenting the conference, so that registration fees may be kept as low as possible. 

Donations of any amount are gratefully received and will be acknowledged in our conference program. There are opportunities for special recognition:

• Corporate sponsorships at tiers ranging from $1,000 to $15,000 provide opportunities for high-visibility recognition at the AGM.
• JASNA Regions are invited to recognize beloved members at the AGM with memorial or honorary gifts, with program underwriting beginning at $250.

Please contact Jane Boltz, Vice President for Conferences, at jtoboltz@gmail.com for more information. 

Because JASNA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, tax-exempt organization, contributions are tax-deductible.
