FY16 HONOR ROLL OF DONORS

ASOR ANNUAL MEETING

125 NEW DONORS HELP ASOR EXCEED GOAL FOR A $33,000 CHALLENGE GIFT

Update (July 5, 2017)

Thanks to the generosity of 125 new donors, ASOR exceeded our goal of gaining support from 100 new donors and qualified for a $33,000 challenge gift! Thank you to everyone who made a financial contribution to ASOR during our last fiscal year, which ended on June 30.

In early May, ASOR Development Chair Ed Wright announced in a letter to ASOR members that the ASOR Board had made a $33,000 challenge gift. Board members collectively pledged to contribute $33,000 to the ASOR Annual Fund if we could recruit 100 new donors who had not yet made a gift this fiscal year (July 1, 2016 – June 30, 2017). Not only did we meet that challenge, but we surpassed it by 25 people.

All of these donors showed that not only do modest gifts add up to create significant support, they helped ASOR qualify for $33,000 that was crucial to (once again) having a balance budget.

If you are one of the 395 people who made a gift to ASOR in Fiscal Year 2017, thank you so much for your support. You not only helped us meet this challenge, but you helped ASOR have one of the highest donor participation rates (if not the highest rate) of any learned society.

We will be publishing our Honor Roll of Donors in the next News@ASOR (July 21st), and we look forward to thanking each of you by name.

If you would like to get a head start on joining the list of donors to ASOR for Fiscal Year 2018 (ends June 30, 2018), please click on the “Donate Now” button below.
