Every Donation Helps
The AUGS Foundation has continued to expand its outreach to support initiatives that our members feel most passionate about. In 2021, we introduced the Anarcha, Betsey, Lucy et al initiative to support diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts within AUGS, including DEI research, member support, and scholarships for residents to attend AUGS. In 2022, the Foundation began supporting additional programs including AUGS’ patient outreach and education, as well as AUGS fellows’ education initiatives. And. as always, we still offer opportunities to support research directly through the Research Fund.
Every contribution to the AUGS Foundation builds a stronger future for the field of urogynecology, our patients and our providers. Donations directly support Foundation programming including the administration and disbursement of research funding, development of future researchers, and the support of research conferences and initiatives.
