Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Fund

INFORMS provides programming, insight, and advice to promote diversity and inclusion in our society and the profession. The DEI Committee organizes innovative programs including the DEI Ambassadors Program [↗], a webinar series focusing on diversity in operations research, management sciences, and analytics, and sessions and plenary speakers at the INFORMS Annual Meeting. Your support will go a long way in ensuring that we continue to support and celebrate these activities in our community.
Student Fund

INFORMS is the leading voice for supporting the next generation of operations research, management science, and analytics professionals. Donating to the INFORMS Student Fund allows you the opportunity to “pay it forward” in gratitude for the many professional benefits you have received as an INFORMS member. Your thoughtful investment enables us to support student needs, such as conference travel grants and registration fees, student award support, student leadership conference, student memberships, etc. Ultimately, it helps us fulfill our mission of fostering the professional pipeline and future INFORMS members.
General Fund

When you give to the General Fund, you provide INFORMS the unique opportunity to innovate and develop emerging efforts. Without this freedom, it is difficult to keep our industry on the “cutting edge” of meaningful change. Your investment allows you the chance to give back to the operations research, management sciences, and analytics community. Through this Fund and your support, INFORMS can support a variety of initiatives and programs that are designed to improve the advancement of our industry and facilitate tremendous growth for our members and their efforts.
