Who created the ASEV Foundation?

The 501(c)(3) Non-profit charitable foundation was created by the American Society for Enology and Viticulture (ASEV) [link to website] in February 2023.

What is the purpose of the ASEV Foundation?

To engage in charitable and educational activities to provide scholarships to viticulture and enology students.

 Will ASEV no longer provide scholarships?

Once the Foundation is fully funded, the intent is to have the Foundation fund scholarships instead of ASEV.

 Are donations tax deductible?

The Foundation is in the process of applying for tax exempt status from the IRS. Once we are granted this status, donations will be tax deductible. However, donors should always confirm with their tax professional.

 Can donations be made now?

No, as we do not have our tax-exempt status yet. Pledges can be made and we will contact everyone once we have the tax-exempt status.
