Donors who annually contribute a total of $1,000 or more to the AARC Foundation become members of the Governors Circle.

Established in 1985, the Governors Circle is a special leadership giving program which provides vital infrastructure funding to support our outstanding clinicians and researchers.


The Arthritis & Autoimmunity Research Centre is pioneering arthritis-related research in Canada. The Research Centre's excellence stems from the convergence of research in basic science, clinical science and surgical expertise. It includes leaders in genomic medicine, health services research and immunology working together to accelerate discoveries. Governors Circle members are putting the power of research to work today.

In recognition of your special contribution, you will be invited to join other Governors Circle members at an annual recognition dinner, research lectures, and your generosity will be recognized in the Annual Report. You will also receive the Foundation's Annual Report and an invitation to the Annual General Meeting held in September.
