Membership and outreach activities, as well as professional services and programs for the Mathematical community, such as employment services, grant or endowment supported conference, surveys of the profession, endowment supported prizes, awards, scholarships and fellowships for achievements in mathematics, high school outreach, public awareness, and other programs. The Society has approximately 25,000 individual and institutional members, with no criteria for membership, who are served through the membership program.

The Society also received funding from individuals, foundations, and federal grants to fund expenses for approximately 306 mathematicians to engage in Mathematical research and collaboration.
Government relations is a division of the Society which maintains contact with other professional scientific organizations and government agencies whose purpose is to support science, Mathematical research and education. The office provides information to the government about issues related to science and Mathematical research and education, and to the Mathematical community about the government's efforts and initiatives in these areas.
