About American Society of Anesthesiologists
The American Society of Anesthesiologists directs its giving toward the infrastructure of anesthesiology: research, patient safety, education, and the state and regional societies that carry the field’s work locally. One clear pattern is repeated operating support for field-building organizations in Schaumburg, including the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research at $2,000,000 in 2024 and $1,600,000 in 2023. The grant list also shows sustained support for the Anesthesia Quality Institute, which received $1,052,033 in 2025, after a $691,785 award in 2023 and $128,637 in 2024. Another recurring beneficiary is the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation, with awards of $425,000 in 2024, $340,000 in 2023, and $19,936 in 2025. Beyond these larger institutional grants, the society uses smaller awards to maintain professional capacity across the specialty, including assistance to state component societies and support for conferences and educational programs. The result is a grantmaker that funds both the research-and-safety core of anesthesiology and the membership organizations that connect practitioners across the country.
What American Society of Anesthesiologists Funds
In research and education, the American Society of Anesthesiologists backed the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research with $2,000,000 in 2024 for operating support, alongside a $25,000 FAER NAM Fellowship for early-career anesthesiology scholars. Patient safety is another clear priority: the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation received $425,000 in 2024 for operating support. The society also funds specialty knowledge-sharing, including $25,000 to Gordon Research Conferences for the Consciousness, Anesthesia and Evolutionary Biology Conference. Its grant list further shows direct support for professional infrastructure through operating support to the Wood Library - Museum of Anesthesiology, including $400,000 in 2024 and $320,000 in 2025.
How American Society of Anesthesiologists Gives
Grant sizes range from a p25 of $15,000 to a median of $31,000 and a p75 of $340,000, showing a structure that combines modest society-level awards with much larger institutional operating grants. The same organizations recur across years, including the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research, the Anesthesia Quality Institute, the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation, and the Wood Library - Museum of Anesthesiology. The foundation is a professional association grantmaker rather than an individual-giving funder, and its recent grants are dominated by operating support and state component society financial assistance. Several active programs accept unsolicited participation or scholarship applications, including international anesthesia scholarship and global health programs.
