NATSA is registered as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization in the United States, and is allowed to raise money from the public. However, as a student run organization, NATSA relies heavily on financial support from other academic institutions. The main supporter and sponsor of NATSA is Taiwan Research Fund (TRF, 台灣研究基金會 http://trfund.blogspot.com/), established and chaired by Mr. Huang-Hsiung Huang (黃煌雄先生, http://huanghsiung.blogspot.com). NASTA has kept a close relation with the TRF since its installation at Yale in 1994. Many other organizations and institutions have generously supported NATSA throughout its history, such as Chiang Ching-Kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange (蔣經國國際學者交流基金會), North America Taiwanese Professors' Association (北美洲台灣人教授協會), I-Mei Environment Protection Foundation (義美環境保護基金會), C. Y. Fund, Tsunah Foundation, Ministry of Education (教育部), National Youth Commission (青輔會), the centers of Asian studies at the University of Texas-Austin and Harvard University, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Department of History of University of California at Santa Cruz, the Department of Curriculum and Instruction of University of Wisconsin at Madison, and the co-sponsor of the NATSA 2012 Annual Conference, the Indiana University-Bloomington Maurer School of Law.

北美臺灣研究學會是美國501 (c)(3) 註冊非營利組織，並得公開募款。但是，作為一個由研究生營運的組織，北美臺灣研究學會相當依賴其他學術機構的財政支援。目前臺灣研究基金是最主要的支持和贊助者 (臺灣研究基金會,TRF http://trfund.blogspot.com)，該基金會由監察委員黃煌雄先生創立與主持 (黃煌雄先生部落格: http://huanghsiung.blogspot.com)。北美臺灣研究學會從1994年在耶魯大學創立以來即與臺灣研究基金會保持密切合作關係。除台研會以外，許多其他組織和機構也曾慷慨地給予本會支持，例如蔣經國國際學者交流基金會、北美洲臺灣人教授協會、義美環境保護基金會，慈林教育基金會、臺灣教育部、臺灣行政院青年輔導委員會，德州大學奧斯丁分校、哈佛大學、夏威夷等大學的亞洲研究中心、加州大學聖塔克魯斯分校歷史系、威斯康新大學麥迪遜分校課程與教學系、以及2012年會協辦者地主印第安那大學布朗明頓分校Maurer法學院。
