Disaster Relief

 

We’re here to help when…

Unavoidable natural disasters like tornadoes, floods, wildfires, and hurricanes can be devastating for rental operations, employees, and the communities they serve. One way the ARA Foundation supports the industry is by providing rental businesses and their employees disaster relief, preparedness and assistance.

Matching Funds Program

If their association plans to make a monetary donation to a qualified charity, the ARA Foundation will match that donation up to a predetermined amount. Learn More
