ASA has partnered with SocialOffset to offer meeting attendees the opportunity to contribute to local organizations in the San Antonio, TX area that make a positive difference in people’s lives and the local community.
We invite you to use this campaign to take meaningful action and offset any internal conflict you may have about tax spending in the destination that doesn’t align with your values by supporting local charities that do.
We worked with SocialOffset to select vetted charities that support reproductive freedom, LGBTQ+ equality, housing security, and veterans in the San Antonio area.
Reproductive Freedom – Planned Parenthood South Texas
Provide and protect the health care and information people need to plan their families and their futures.
LGBTQ+ Equality – Pride Center San Antonio
Serve the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and HIV communities by connecting them and their families to community resources and organizations related to health, wellness, support, education, activities, and advocacy.
Housing Security – THRU Project
Help youth overcome the challenges of growing up in the foster care system by providing guidance, support, and advocacy in order to prepare them for life after foster care. A donation of $100 provides a session of individual counseling to a youth to improve their mental well-bring.
Veterans – Soldiers’ Angels
provide aid, comfort, and resources to the military, veterans, and their families.
We worked with SocialOffset to select vetted charities from these cause areas to maximize your impact. Every dollar counts, and 100% of your tax-deductible donation goes to the charity of your choice, so please give what you can.

How much should you give ?
Every dollar counts!
When you travel, every purchase you make generates tax revenue for a state government. That revenue may contribute to governmental policies that don't align with your values. Giving to a local charity working towards the equity goals you care about can help balance the scale. Every dollar counts, please give what you can.
