Welcome to the website of the Oriental Rug Importers Association (ORIA).
Oriental Rug Importers Association Charitable Fund
The ORIA and its members have been financially committed to improving the lives of children in rug weaving counties for over a decade. Although the ORIA has been successful in soliciting donations from its members for several specific relief efforts in recent years, we needed a more unified approach to helping rug weaving areas and others in need on an on-going basis.
Incorporation of the ORIA Charitable Fund as a non-profit organization allows us to solicit funds and channel them to various humanitarian projects, including schools and clinics in India, Pakistan and Nepal and the fund’s tax-exempt status provides additional incentives for retailers and wholesalers to support our efforts.
