Annual Fund

Help us Create a Bright Future for Archaeology!

For over 140 years, the AIA has worked to support archaeological research, fieldwork, preservation, and education. But these days, more than ever, we need your help so that the past is not lost forever. Your support helps to save endangered archaeological sites and artifacts all over the world, fosters scholarly research, nurtures public interest through publications and through our National Lecture Program, Archaeology Abridged, ArchaeoCon, and other public programs, and helps us tell the policy makers in Washington that the world’s cultural heritage is worth saving.

AIA Annual Fund

Why should you give to the AIA Annual Fund?  Because….

A tax-deductible gift to the AIA Annual Fund means you directly help:

  • Publish the latest archaeological research
  • Preserve threatened archaeological sites for the future
  • Fund scholarships to educate the next generation of archaeologists
  • Teach children to appreciate other cultures through the study of the world’s archaeological heritage

And now giving to the AIA Annual Fund is even easier through our automatic giving program! Not only will you help cut down our administrative costs for sending out mailings, you will have the added convenience of knowing you have helped to continue all the programs you support at the AIA, just with the click of a button!

As you may know, only a small percentage of our Membership fees cover our operating funds, so your support is crucial. If you have not yet supported the AIA Annual Fund, start now! And if you already have, please consider an additional gift to help us get through these difficult economic times and continue making progress.

If you are looking for a different way to support the AIA Annual Fund, consider rolling over a contribution from your IRA, making a gift of stock, or listing the AIA as a beneficiary on your retirement fund.
