2024 Matching Gift Campaign
We did it! Thank you to everyone who invested in the next generation of researchers by contributing to the Matching Gift Campaign during the ARVO 2024 Annual Meeting. With the generous $25,000 match commitment of ARVO members Renu Kowluru, PhD, FARVO and Anjan Kowluru, PhD, the ARVO community raised over $51,600.
ARVO Foundation Travel Grants
The ARVO Foundation supports over 185 travel grants that allow young researchers to attend the ARVO Annual Meeting to present their work while building their confidence, presentation skills and professional network. Many are named in memory or in honor of pioneers in the vision research community.
Gifts to the ARVO Foundation help to provide mentorship, career development and funding opportunities to researchers across the globe. Please donate today to support the future of eye and vision research (gifts are tax deductible).
