Goals & Benefits
There are many ways to make a gift to ASDS. Take a look at some of the options designed to help you to achieve different goals.
Discover the Benefits of Giving Wisely
Make your commitment and give today or for the future.
Dermatologic surgery is one of the most innovative medical specialties today. ASDS members have pioneered safe, in-office procedures that are saving lives by diagnosing and treating potentially deadly skin cancers earlier and more successfully and are giving patients more effective treatments for minimally invasive cosmetic procedures to help them look and feel their best.
ASDS members have advanced the fields of chemical peeling, cryosurgery, dermabrasion, electrosurgery, hair transplantation, soft tissue augmentation, tumescent liposuction, laser surgery, phlebology, Mohs micrographic surgery, cutaneous reconstruction, wound healing, botulinum toxin, blepharoplasty and rhytidectomy.
To support current and future dermatologic surgeons in continuing their innovative work, ASDS celebrates a number of giving circles in order to recognize our most generous and loyal member donors-- the Stegman Circles and new Legacy Circle.

Ways of Giving
Tip of the Week
Variety is the spice of giving.
You can give almost any kind of highly appreciated property—such as closely-held stock, real estate, partnership interests, or valuable art—to a charitable remainder trust and receive major tax and income benefits.
So, all at once, you can:
- Receive income for life
- Take a charitable tax deduction
- Avoid all capital gains tax
- Support the mission of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery
You can even allow your assets to accumulate tax-free until you "turn on the income spigot" at retirement or some other future event, such as the start of your child's education.
