AO is a company created to give.

We believe that giving back should extend beyond our services. The Association Online teams determine new ways each year that our company can reach out to our community. We also encourage each of our employees to each GIVE individually, in a way that is meaningful to them.

To aid in this AO gives each employee paid time off to volunteer within their communities. We would like to share and celebrate some of the ways our team members have chosen to GIVE their time to others.

“I belong to a Biblical Research and Teaching ministry. We offer numerous classes made up of several sessions.

Volunteer hours provided by Association Online have made it possible for me to assist in coordinating classes. I have grown personally from this experience. But the best part is seeing others gain an understanding of the Bible they didn't think possible.” Beverley Ehrhart, Associate since October 2017

"I have been volunteering with Realities for Children in Larimer County. This is an organization that does things for the families and kids that are signed up within some other organization in Larimar County and meets needs that those organizations can't. I felt called to this organization because they really see the kids that are in difficult times and try to bring a bit of childhood or fun to them. The organization is also set up so that community members contribute and all fundraising goes to the kids and families.

I've also gotten to volunteer with KindConnect through Realities which is a delivery service of items that people may need as they start to build their lives. People within the community donate needed items and then I take the item to the person in need.

I really enjoy my time volunteering and being a part of my community in a positive way."  Elizabeth Zieska, Associate since June 2019

To help our employees GIVE during the holiday season, the founders of AO gave every employee $100 cash to spread charity and make an impact in any way they chose.

We would like to share some of the stories of how our compassionate employees utilized this to GIVE and bless others.

I used this awesome opportunity to sponsor a family in need of assistance for Christmas this year. I am so honored to be able to assist and be working with a community of people coming together to help make Christmas. I definitely feel as blessed as they do.

I bought items for the homeless and put together over two dozen bags. I donated these to the homeless mission and the United Way. This is something I do every year so, I matched AO's generous donation and doubled the donation.

I got my kids involved in the decision and there were so many ways to use the money. We went through the hard process of narrowing it down and picked out toys for a toy drive. I am so happy that I had the opportunity to teach my kids the meaning of giving. This experience was great!

I donated the money to a family of a young child who has incurable brain cancer so that the family could spend more time with their son and focusing on him. Then God spurred my husband and I to spread even more and we donated stuffed animal buddies to the Children’s Cancer Hospital for the children going through treatments.

One day, I went to get my car washed and there was woman standing on the corner with a sign stating, "Good Woman, Difficult Situation...… " I gave her the $100 out of my wallet. After all the blessings the Lord has given me, I felt I needed to do more. So, I took $100 of my own to buy winter wear and toiletries for the homeless shelter.

I gave my $100 to a person who brought out my breakfast at Sonic. I told him I appreciated him and his coworkers getting out of bed and making me breakfast and handed him the $100 bill. He said “Are you kidding me, is this real, Why”? I told him God loves a servant and whether he realized it or not that's what they were doing by getting up early and making people breakfast.

With the gift from AO, I used it to give a man in our community who has health issues a blessing and bought staple pantry groceries for the winter so he will have food to keep him healthy throughout the winter. As an extra blessing we also gifted him with a handmade blanket to help keep him warm from our family.

I chose to split the money up and give it to those that I have noticed always give so much to others without ever expecting anything in return, those who give all year round. One of these people started to cry when I gave him the gift. I felt blessed I was able to give a little back to those who give to others.

I saw the homeless family on the corner and noticed the mother was very pregnant. I knew this was where I was to give. The gratitude and joy on the woman’s face shined as she accepted the money.

I donated the money to an Elementary Education Major who on teaching English abroad next year. I gave her the $100 as part of her fundraising money. She was beyond thankful.

I donated the money and matched it as well to sponsor a ministry service trainee. I remember thanking Father for making it available for me to bless this incredible young man!

Every year I participate in a charity event called Extra Life where I raise money for the Children's Hospital of Colorado and I donated my $100 there!

Life for the Innocent (LFTI) partners with communities to rescue, restore, and renew children affect by human trafficking.
