AVER Sponsorship

AVER is a 501(c)3 volunteer non-profit organization. As such, beyond basic membership dues, we are largely dependent on outside fundraising, donations and sponsorship gifts, both at the national and local chapter levels. We very much appreciate the generosity both within and without the organization, and extend many thanks to those listed below.

If you would like to become an AVER sponsor, please use our online sponsorship pledge form. All gifts are tax deductible. To receive proper receipts for any donation of $250 or more, we require your return address. Regardless of the size of your gift, PayPal will email an electronic receipt to you for your records.
