| ASOR Announces Lifetime Honor Roll |
ASOR is pleased to announce our Lifetime Honor Roll of Donors that recognizes the 138 ASOR donors who have made lifetime contributions of $5,000 or more. One of the reasons that ASOR is able to efficiently advance our mission is that we consistently have more than 20% of our members (more than 450 people per year) make a charitable contribution in addition to paying their membership dues (see the Fiscal Year 2020 Honor Roll for last year’s donors). The Lifetime Honor Roll is dedicated to those individuals and institutions that have sustained ASOR with transformative gifts over their lifetimes. ASOR is grateful to these generous donors and has made every effort to ensure accuracy in recognizing them. Please contact us at info@asor.org if we need to edit your listing on this honor roll.
