The Advanced Studies in Culture Foundation (ASCF) was established in 1995 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization to support the work of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture at the University of Virginia. For nearly thirty years, ASCF and its individual and institutional partners and supporters have enabled the Institute to explore contemporary cultural change and its individual and social consequences. Through the Institute, Foundation resources fund basic and applied research to educate the public and key societal leadership groups about the nature and challenges of late-modern society; to conduct inquiry into humane and democratic responses to these challenges; and to maintain the physical, financial, and human resources necessary to continue this work. The Institute for Advance Studies in Culture is an interdisciplinary research center and intellectual community committed to understanding contemporary cultural change and its individual and social consequences, training young scholars, and providing intellectual leadership in service to the common good. The Institute is part of the University of Virginia, which has consistently ranked as one of the nation’s premier public universities.

I am looking for a partner to shape and lead our fundraising strategy, but also, most crucially, to engage a new generation of donors ready to carry the work forward and help write the next chapter of our extraordinary Institute." — Ty Buckman, Director and Senior Fellow, Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture
