ARA Foundation

Many in the equipment and event rental community demonstrated their support for the ARA Foundation and its programs through their generous donations during 2022. These donations enable the ARA Foundation to:

  • Provide scholarships to students pursuing a career in rental.
  • Assist with the cost of continuing education for rental employees.
  • Respond with financial assistance after a natural disaster.
  • Sponsor group training and conferences for rental professionals.
  • Mobilize volunteers to improve communities where our members work and live.
  • Foster mentor/mentee relationships within the industry.
