The 2022 CHOOSE TO GIVE Campaign

A Campaign to Give Back to the Profession of Respiratory Care

Recognizing the impact of the growing shortage of respiratory therapists on our profession, the 2022 CHOOSE TO GIVE Campaign provides the opportunity to help address the need and change that trajectory for a better, brighter future.

The 2022 CHOOSE TO GIVE Campaign supports the long-term recruitment, retention and advancement of respiratory therapists – and it actually costs you nothing extra to participate. That’s because we’ve built the entire program into our annual credential maintenance fee. Through this give-back initiative, the NBRC Board of Trustees invites you to join us in making a collective difference by designating a portion of your annual fee to fund scholarships, grants and awards for current and future practitioners.

27,243

NBRC credentialed practitioners have contributed since October 11, 2021.

How It Works

When you receive your invoice for the annual credential maintenance fee (or annual support, for those who are not subject to credential maintenance), simply check the box to let us know you wish to have a portion of your fee directed to the CHOOSE TO GIVE Campaign.

Each year, when you CHOOSE TO GIVE, you invest in our newest practitioners and demonstrate your commitment to excellence in respiratory care. This campaign is a simple way for the entire respiratory care community to band together in ways that elevate the profession, address the rising shortage of respiratory therapists, and ultimately improve care for the growing number of patients who need respiratory therapy.

Your Choice to Give Matters More Than Ever in 2022

Everything about who you are as a credentialed respiratory care practitioner is centered around giving. You give your time, courage, knowledge, experience, caring and expertise. Perhaps most crucially, you give hope – because where there is breath, there is always hope. The 2022 CHOOSE TO GIVE Campaign allows you to support our respiratory care community and let your credentials be a part of making a shared difference.

And there are more ways to choose to give – simply by sharing your experience. Via our collaborative website, MoreRTs.com, the NBRC has joined forces with the AARC and CoARC to increase recognition of the difference you make in patients’ lives – and the growing need for more respiratory therapists. We invite your support in making others aware of the need for more RTs. By sharing your own experiences as part of our national campaign, you can help bolster our power to make a difference as one collective voice.

We are all working toward the same goal – choosing to give hope and making life better for people with respiratory illnesses.
