Your support helps strengthen and sustain the global glass community. You can choose to give to our Annual Fund or to GAS Loves Students.
Annual Fund
Artists are the heart of everything we do.
Every program we offer—conferences and events, sustainability tools and resources, scholarships and prizes, exhibitions, and our travel program—exists to support artists by helping them grow their practice, build community connections, and move forward in their glass journey.
By giving to our Annual Fund, you’re strengthening the global glass community—connecting artists, studios, students, collectors, and educators across more than 55 countries. Thank you for fueling the fire that keeps glass alive and thriving.
You can choose to make a one-time gift, or become a monthly Spark! donor to sustain our mission year-round.
GAS❤️ Students
Students are the future of glass—and that’s why GAS is expanding the program in 2026.
What started as giving back has become a way to strengthen our family, deepen our global reach, and ensure the next generation has a true home in glass.
Students make up more than half of our membership, and we’ve heard you: membership costs should never stand in the way of joining this community. With the support of our donor community, GAS is proud to offer Free Student Memberships, ensuring students have full access to the opportunities, resources, and connections that shape a life in glass.
Help us reach our $30,000 goal by December 31, 2026 and make this enriching initiative possible.
