General Fund

O.R. and Analytics Saves Lives, Saves Money, and Solves Problems

Your gift provides flexibility in meeting INFORMS community-wide needs. 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. 

Through your support, INFORMS can support a variety of initiatives and programs outside the scope of membership dues.

$250 could provide support for government advocacy initiatives that increase awareness and interest in O.R., analytics, data science, and artificial intelligence (AI).

$100 may help to provide resources for educators and industry professionals such as teaching cases, video library, articles, and analytics capability assessment.

$50 may assist with funding for mentoring and speaker programs.

$25 may provide support for podcasts and webinar series.
