Help AORE Be Successful

Unrestricted donations are critical for AORE’s continued success. Funding of this nature allows us to invest in organizational health and encourage growth—from adopting new best practices, identifying new skillsets and perspectives to seek out in future board candidates; and streamlining association governance. We’re also able to advocate for critical industry issues through research, advancing diverse perspectives, and strengthening connection and communication between national practitioners. Donors are also helping us to establish endowed funds to increase access to industry-specific learning and development opportunities for professionals and students.
