Thank You for Making Giving Tuesday a Success!
We’re excited to share that, thanks to the generosity of over 75 donors, more than $6,000 was raised to support OT research and education. The St. Catherine Challenge was the most popular gift designation, and the State Scholarship Challenge winners—Missouri, Arizona, Illinois, and Texas—will each receive an extra $500 for scholarships in 2026.
But the work doesn’t stop here! Donations remain open throughout December, so there’s still time to make an impact. Your support helps fund vital OT research, empower students, and shape the future of occupational therapy.
Let’s Support Research. Empower Practice. Improve Lives.
Your generous donation will directly impact groundbreaking research, promising students, and emerging leaders. Together, we can advance the science of OT.
Ways to make your gift go even further:
- Double or even triple the impact of your gift by supporting OT research and your school in the St. Catherine Challenge by Dec. 31st.
Advance the Science that Supports Evidence-Based Practice
Occupational Therapy in the 21st century will be defined by evidence-based practice. AOTF is working to be the leader in supporting new research that will build that evidence. But we need your help to do it.
AOTF relies on the generosity of a community of donors to provide the resources we need to advance the science of occupational therapy. Each year gifts to AOTF fund new research grants, scholarships and fellowships as well as programs for future scientists and emerging leaders. A donation to AOTF is an investment into the future of OT. Your gift helps promote a society in which individuals, regardless of age or ability, may participate in the daily occupations of their choice.
What Does Your Gift Support
AOTF is grateful to the many people, organizations, corporations and schools that support our mission, participate with us in our work and strengthen occupational therapy.
