The Canadian Anthropology Society is a bilingual organization operating at a national level.
We are your organization, representing the interests of anthropologists and the discipline nationally.

Donations
As CASCA was recognized as a Learned Society, an organization that promotes education and research, CASCA was granted Registered Charity status, and because of this can issue tax receipts for eligible donations made to our society.
Gifts from individual or corporate donors are welcomed. Official tax receipts for gifts will be issued. Since donors cannot benefit in more than a nominal way from their own gifts we are unable to offer tax receipts for membership subscriptions. However, if you would like to donate additional monies over and above your membership fees please get in touch with our treasurer, Daniel Tubb, who can arrange a tax receipt.
