About our research
ASF’s research is divided into two components: a Salary and Benefits Survey (conducted in January-February) and an Operations and Management Survey (conducted in May-June). By isolating the salary and benefits components, we are able to collect data and report back on these topics much earlier in the year – as requested by our members. All data is combined to create the ASF Foundation Operations & Management Report, published annually in the fall.
