We are proud to announce the successful conclusion of our Generations Fund endowment campaign, having reached our goal by raising an impressive $500,000 to support SSP’s Fellowship, Mentoring, and DEIA programs. This milestone marks a significant step forward in cementing our commitment to the future of scholarly communications by providing dependable and sustainable long-term support for these programs through an endowment structure.
Launched during the pandemic, the campaign brought together supporters from across the world, uniting more than 500 individuals and organizations around a shared goal. Beyond giving directly to the Fund, sponsors walked, ran, and rolled in SSP’s Virtual 5K, contributed their talents to the SSP Originals Auction, played Games for Good, and more!
“We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible support we’ve received,” said Melanie Dolechek, Executive Director of SSP. “This achievement is not just a number—it’s a reflection of the passion and commitment our community has for cultivating diverse voices for a brighter future.”

As we look ahead, the success of the Generations Fund reinforces our commitment to advancing scholarly publishing and communication, as well as the professional development of our members, through education, collaboration, and networking. The organization invites the community to stay involved and continue making an impact through ongoing volunteer opportunities and events.
About the Society for Scholarly Publishing The Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP), founded in 1978, is a nonprofit organization formed to promote and advance communication among all sectors of the scholarly publication community through networking, information dissemination, and facilitation of new developments in the field. SSP members represent all aspects of scholarly publishing—including publishers, printers, e-products developers, technical service providers, librarians, and editors. SSP members come from a wide range of large and small commercial and nonprofit organizations. They meet at SSP’s annual meetings, educational seminars, and regional events to hear the latest trends from respected colleagues and discuss common and mutual (and sometimes divergent) goals and viewpoints.
