Background

AERDO, the Association of Evangelical Relief and Development Organizations, was founded in 1978. It represents a network of more than 50 of the major evangelical Christian relief and development agencies across North America. The Board of Directors is comprised of a representative from each member agency. AERDO is managed by a ten-member Executive Committee, elected from the membership board.

The annual AERDO Forum is held each Fall. AERDO offers agency and individual memberships.

Vision Statement

Being compelled by the love of our Lord Jesus Christ, we work together with all believers in partnership with the poor and oppressed so together we become all God intended us to be.

Mission Statement

AERDO is a professional forum for non-profit Christian agencies and individuals engaged in relief and development work. AERDO exists to promote excellence in professional practice; to foster networking, collaboration and information exchange; and to enable its membership to effectively support the Church in serving the poor and needy.
