ISAKOS Annual Fund

Lead the Future of Orthopaedic Care: ISAKOS Annual Fund

Every day, orthopaedic surgeons around the world help patients regain movement, reduce pain, and return to the lives they love. ISAKOS exists to ensure those surgeons, regardless of geography or resources, have access to the education, research, and global community that make the best care possible.

Supporting the ISAKOS Annual Fund is the most direct way to advance this mission.

Why Your Support Matters

While membership dues and Congress participation sustain ISAKOS's core operations, philanthropic support makes growth and innovation possible. Gifts to the Annual Fund allow ISAKOS to:

  • Expand access to education for surgeons in countries with limited resources
  • Invest in research that advances arthroscopy, knee surgery, and orthopaedic sports medicine
  • Support young professionals through scholarships, fellowships, and mentorship
  • Respond flexibly to emerging opportunities and needs across the global orthopaedic community

When you give to ISAKOS, you are investing in better outcomes and improved quality of life for patients worldwide.

The Power of the Annual Fund

The ISAKOS Annual Fund provides the flexibility needed to direct resources where they can have the greatest impact. Unrestricted support enables the Society to strengthen existing programs, launch new initiatives, and ensure that education and research continue to reach those who need them most.

Some donors choose to support a specific program area. Others give to the Annual Fund to help ISAKOS lead strategically across education, research, and global collaboration. Both approaches are vital - and deeply appreciated.

Recognition and Community

ISAKOS is proud to recognize the generosity of its individual donors. Annual supporters may be acknowledged through:

  • Recognition at the Biennial ISAKOS Congress
  • A donor ribbon to wear at the ISAKOS Congress
  • An invitation to the Global Connection Reception (or similar event) at the ISAKOS Congress
  • Recognition on the ISAKOS website
  • Recognition in an edition of the ISAKOS eNewsletter

Donors contributing USD $5,000 or more are eligible for special recognition as ISAKOS Godparents, reflecting a shared commitment to supporting colleagues and advancing the profession globally.

Ways to Give

ISAKOS offers a variety of convenient giving options to support individual donors:

  • Credit card, cash, or check
  • Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)
  • IRA Required Minimum Distribution (for eligible donors)
  • Stock or cryptocurrency

United States residents may take advantage of additional tax-efficient giving options. Supporters outside the U.S. are also encouraged to give in ways that align with their local regulations.
