The vision of the Ayurvedic Accreditation Commission (AAC) is to accredit educational programs of Ayurveda, ensure quality, promote excellence, and to advance improvement in Ayurvedic medical education. 

Message from Dr Lisa Cavallaro, Executive Director

As we observe the changing of seasons and begin to take stock and reflect on the past year of growth at the AAC, we are turning our attention to the financial sustainability of our organization. Over the past six months, we have grown to 18 Ayurvedic programs in candidacy for accreditation, completed an official name change and rebranding to help distinguish and define the mission, goals and autonomy of AAC, and launched an ongoing series of webinars to support our candidate programs. In order to support this expansion and continue working towards the ambitious goals we have set, we must create a plan to ensure long term success of the organization.

Fundraising lies at the heart of every nonprofit's ability to operate and serve its community. Our new Fundraising Committee will be spearheading a strategic plan to secure the essential resources that will allow our small team to continue our work in the years to come. We look forward to sharing more about this initiative soon! In the meantime, if you are able to contribute to the important work of the Ayurvedic Accreditation Commission, please visit our Donate page today. There is no amount too small; every dollar helps advance the profession of Ayurveda in the United States.

Finally, we'd like to extend our deepest thanks to all of our current donors and supporters. The generosity of these individuals, companies, and organizations has helped us advance the quality of Ayurvedic education and care.

Warmest wishes,

Lisa Cavallaro, Executive Director
