Why Give Directly to the AOA

Traditionally, the AOA has received donations from members through the Orthopaedic Research and Educational Foundation (OREF). However, the AOA only receives a portion of the gift made through OREF's designated giving program (the first $500 is designated to OREF).

Members have asked if they could donate directly, the entire amount, to the AOA to support the educational activity of their choice. To respond to the request of these members, the AOA  now accepts direct donations.

All contributions specifically allocated to a particular activity will be used solely to support that activity.100% of the funds will be directed to support the designated activities.

Members and others wishing to support AOA programs below can make a restricted or unrestricted donation directly to the AOA by mailing in a check or mailing back the gift envelope that you will find in the AOA News.
