Gifts to the American Swedish Institute come from individuals, ASI members, family foundations and organizations, and are 100% tax-deductible. This support allows ASI to continue to present an exciting array of innovative programs, exhibits and events throughout the year, and helps meet emerging needs such as ongoing care for the Turnblad Mansion.

Gifts can be made to support the overall pursuit of ASI’s mission or can be designated to support certain programs or areas of interest, and can be made in honor or memory of someone special.

American Swedish Institute Community Fund

We at ASI are committed to our neighborhood, our city and to the values of listening, understanding, respect and justice. Our mission is to be a safe and welcoming gathering place for people of diverse heritages to hear and honor each other’s experiences, stories and traditions. The American Swedish Institute launched its Community Fund following the senseless killing by police of George Floyd, which took place just 14 blocks from our campus. We intend to be a part of the systemic change needed for our community to heal. This dedicated fund works alongside ASI’s longstanding community service programs to deepen our commitment to Phillips West residents, institutions and organizations, to supporting a strong, vibrant and healthy Phillips West for all. Funds will be used to help navigate critical neighborhood issues that ASI’s community service partners, individual residents and other neighborhood institutions have identified and shared with ASI as being important.
