Donate and volunteer with NAU Occupational Therapy

Interested in assisting the NAU OTD in its mission of development of occupational therapists? NAU OTD is reliant upon the local and national community in achieving its goals of developing the best in the field. If you are able, please consider assisting us through financial contributions and/or volunteerism. 

Financial contribution

Please consider donating to our public and non-profit program through the NAU Foundation website.  Scroll down to the “Search all available funds” search bar and type in “occupational therapy” for a list of all NAU OT funds.
