Giving to the Southern Sociological Society
The Southern Sociological Society is one of the oldest and largest regional sociological associations in the United States. Your contribution strengthens our mission to advance sociological research, teaching, mentorship, and community across the South.
Every donation—whether $25, $50, $75, $100, $250, $500, or
a bequest in your estate—directly supports the vitality of our community. All contributions are tax‑deductible, and donors are recognized in the Annual Meeting Program and at the Presidential Reception (we are happy to honor requests for anonymity).
