Critical Mixed Race Studies

Learn more about your impact

Your gifts support the Critical Mixed Race Studies Association, an international collective of scholars, artists, activists, students, clinicians and community organizers whose work analyzes and critiques social, cultural and political institutions based on dominant conceptions of race.

Your gifts provide opportunity for ASU and the larger Arizona community to learn from and engage with participants who are addressing our changing demographics and creating dialogue and actions that speak to our collective humanity and diversity of experience. When you give, you support social justice work, including scholarship, teaching, advocacy, the arts and activism that work to undo injustice rooted in systems of racism and monoracism, which privileges single-race identity.

Impact of Donor Support

  • More learners can pursue higher education. Thanks to our donors, more than 7,000 ASU students have received upwards of $32 million in scholarships with more than $39 million raised.
  • More students succeed. ASU ranks #1 among the state’s public universities for its 86% first-year retention rate thanks in part to donor-funded student success initiatives.
  • Important initiatives continue. More than $320 million in new gifts and commitments support ongoing initiatives at ASU.
  • The spirit of generosity abounds. In the past year, more than 100,000 individual, corporate and foundation donors stepped forward to help the ASU community.

We want to show the power of a university to be a difference-making partner in the positive transformation of all communities."
