About Secular Student Alliance
The Secular Student Alliance (SSA) is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports nonreligious and secular students at high schools, colleges, and universities across the United States. SSA provides leadership training, chapter support, scholarships, educational programming, and a yearly national student conference to help students build campus communities and advocate for church–state separation.
SSA maintains an active, donor-facing web presence and a network of student affiliates (reported as 300+ chapters), and it appears on public nonprofit records under EIN 41-1967141; recent filings show multi-year financial activity and ongoing programs. In the last 2–3 years SSA has continued national programming (including its annual conference) and announced a public partnership with The Satanic Temple to support After School Satan Club activities (announced May 23, 2024), reflecting continued engagement in campus and public-school church–state advocacy.
