Let's Build Evidence Together To Improve Practice & Health!
#GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement, unleashing the power of people to transform their communities.
THANK YOU for your support of OT Research on #GivingTuesday! We raised $12,500!
- 4 states, Minnesota, Illinois, Arizona and Wisconsin, will receive an extra $500 for their 2022 State OT Scholarships thx to our sponsor EBS Healthcare/The Stepping Stones Group.
- We earned an extra $2,000 thanks to our sponsor Anthem Inc. who matched the first donations.
- The top 3 St. Catherine Challenge participating schools who received the most donations were Alvernia University, St. Catherine University and The Ohio State University.
As a standalone non-profit we couldn't build evidence without you!

We believe that occupational therapists should have the best and most current evidence available so they can deliver the highest quality care to their clients. Will you join us to build new evidence for occupational therapy?
Every day the demand for OT evidence rises. Thanks to a community of philanthropic donors AOTF is able to support new OT research to generate evidence in need. More evidence means better quality of care, reduced costs, and increased efficacy. In addition to the dozens of specialty areas in which OTs work, there is now a need for OT to build evidence for COVID-19, address social injustices and support underserved populations so they can receive equitable and accessible health care service.
The only way AOTF can continue to make investments into the future of OT is with your help. Please make a gift to support essential OT grants, scholarships and research programs.
