17吃瓜EXCEEDS PARTICIPATION GOAL OF 450 DONORS

[/vc_column_text][mk_divider][vc_column_text responsive_align=”left”]Our members (i.e., you) are truly amazing. This year we received a extraordinary challenge pledge of $450,000 towards the purchase of the James F. Strange Center, but we had to “earn” this gift by completing two separate challenges:

  • First, we had to demonstrate that we were all behind ASOR鈥檚 many initiatives by securing 450 unique donors by June 30, 2019. When we received this challenge on February 1st, we had about 200 donors for the fiscal year, so we had to receive gifts from 250 new donors in just five months. A tall order; yet, our members came through (once again).
  • Second (and separate from the participation goal), we must raise $225,000 in new gifts and pledges for the building by December 31, 2019. To date, we have received gifts and pledges of $171,402 for this challenge鈥攕o we only need $53,598 more. Now that we’re completed the participation challenge (see below), we will focus on raising the last $53,500+ that we need to pay off the building debt and exceed our goal.

For now, we are thrilled to announce that we exceeded the participation portion of the challenge. As of July 2nd, we had 461 donors, and we are still waiting for the mail to arrive over the next week with gifts postmarked by June 30th. We set an all-time high for both dollars donated and for participation in Fiscal Year 2019, and we are so thankful for all of your support.[/vc_column_text][mk_divider][vc_line_chart style=”modern” x_values=”FY2011; FY2012; FY2013; FY2014; FY2015; FY2016; FY2017; FY2018; FY2019″ values=”%5B%7B%22title%22%3A%22Number%20of%20Donors%22%2C%22y_values%22%3A%22235%3B%20282%3B%20353%3B%20417%3B%20400%3B%20405%3B%20402%3B%20457%3B%20461%22%2C%22color%22%3A%22blue%22%7D%2C%7B%22title%22%3A%22Gifts%20and%20Private%20Grants%20(in%20%24000’s)%22%2C%22y_values%22%3A%22157%3B%20241%3B%20350%3B%20404%3B%20295%3B%20288%3B%20357%3B%20483%3B%201261%22%2C%22color%22%3A%22turquoise%22%7D%5D” title=”Donor Participation Since 2011″][mk_divider][vc_column_text responsive_align=”left”]

Why does high donor participation matter?

This large number of donors (more than 1 in 5 of our members) is something that distinguishes 17吃瓜from all other learned societies. And it matters, as the high level of donor participation from our membership engages the attention of foundations and major donors outside 17吃瓜and helps us attract gifts and support from them.

Your donations also enable 17吃瓜to carry out our mission. Subscriptions and memberships only account for about a quarter of our annual budget, so we rely on grants and donations from our members and friends. Even modest gifts add up to create significant support for ASOR, Truly, every donor is important, and every gift is meaningful.

If you are one of the people who made a gift to 17吃瓜in Fiscal Year 2019, thank you so much for your support. Indeed, because of the cost of relocating to our new home in Alexandria, VA, your support has never been more beneficial.

Please take this opportunity to check out everyone who contributed in FY2019 by clicking on our . We hope that you will also review the list of . If we made an error in listing your name on the Honor Roll, we ask that you kindly e-mail us so that we can correct the mistake.

Our goal was to raise $6,000 during March鈥攅nough to fund 3 fellowships鈥攕o that we can award a total of 26 fellowships for summer excavation. WE DID IT TOGETHER. Thanks to your generosity we raised more than we did in March 2018!

Since 2007, with the generous support of our members and donors,聽17吃瓜has awarded over 635 fellowships, grants, scholarships, and travel awards. These fellowships and grants total just over $750,000, and they have enabled students and scholars across the Near East and the Mediterranean to uncover the past and to broaden our knowledge of the ancient world.

This year, YOU gave the tools that fellowship recipients need to succeed in the field!

Each tool below corresponds with a giving level. The Pickaxe was the most popular tool chosen (purchased) to help excavate the mosaic artifact below! 17吃瓜is fortunate to have many generous members and friends.

STEINMETZ FELLOWSHIPS FOR ACTIVE/RESERVE MILITARY OR VETERANS

Established in 2019 through an annual gift from Charles Steinmetz, these fellowships support the participation of U.S. military personnel or veterans in archaeological excavations. One fellowship for $2,000 will be awarded in 2019.

Application Deadline: February 1, 2019

Eligibility

Applicants must be U.S. active or reserve military or veterans. Membership in 17吃瓜is not required to apply, but the successful applicant will be asked to join 17吃瓜at the level (only $40) or higher.

Preference will be given to individuals that have not received support through the 17吃瓜excavation fellowship program or other funding sources for the summer of 2019. Additional preference will also be given to applicants who would not usually receive funding (for airfare, lodging or a stipend) from the excavation. Preference is also given to applicants who have not received 17吃瓜funding for excavations in the past three years.

Applications must include the contact information for the director of the excavation project.

Upon completion of the field season, a report of 250-350 words and three appropriate photos (500 dpi resolution or higher) on site must be submitted to the 17吃瓜office by August 15, 2019. Reports and photos should be sent via email with “17吃瓜Veteran Fellowship report” in the subject line. More information will be available after the recipients have been notified.

Fellowship recipients will be required to sign a waiver indicating that 17吃瓜is not responsible for any injuries they might sustain during their time at the excavation in which they participate. They will also be required to sign a release of rights to 17吃瓜for the inclusion of their report and photographs in one of ASOR’s publications.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column border_color=”rgba(170,170,170,0.01)” width=”1/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1496684098866{margin-right: 5px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;border-right-width: 2px !important;border-bottom-width: 2px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-right-color: rgba(227,228,228,0.75) !important;border-bottom-color: rgba(227,228,228,0.75) !important;}”][vc_wp_posts title=”BROWSE THE NEWS ARCHIVE” number=”4″][/vc_column][vc_column border_color=”rgba(170,170,170,0.01)” width=”1/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1496684008271{margin-right: 10px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;border-right-width: 2px !important;border-bottom-width: 2px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-right-color: rgba(227,228,228,0.75) !important;border-bottom-color: rgba(227,228,228,0.75) !important;}”][vc_column_text] [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

A Home for ASOR

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]When 17吃瓜was established in 1900, our office was one large room in a Jerusalem hotel. During the past 118 years, we have dramatically expanded our scholarly capacity and public outreach鈥攂oth abroad and in North America. By 1925, we built a permanent home in Jerusalem. Yet in North America, we moved frequently, from one host institution to another. Now, it is time for 17吃瓜to establish an independent headquarters to serve our broadened constituencies. Our goal is to raise $1.5 million to purchase an enduring home for 17吃瓜in the Washington, D.C. area鈥攁 location that is of greatest strategic benefit to our mission.

Why Washington. D.C.? A home for 17吃瓜in the Washington, D.C. area will facilitate our engagement with federal agencies and Washington-area higher-education associations that foster the scholarship of our 2000 dues-paying members and 72 member institutions. This home will enhance our communication with government partners, Washington-based international organizations, and foreign embassies that support our members’ and our cultural heritage teams’ overseas research. This home will strengthen ASOR’s interactions with colleagues in other learned societies that are Washington-based and will provide 17吃瓜with a national and international platform from which to launch improved outreach programs that will increase public understanding of the Near East and wider Mediterranean.

The 17吃瓜Board of Trustees has identified Alexandria, VA鈥攁 hub of non-profits with easy access to downtown Washington鈥攁s a location where we can find an office building within our price range.

How Can You Help? Between February and November 2018, we raised $750,000 in gifts and pledges to support the purchase of our new home, and generous end-of-the year (2018) donations have now brought that total up to $910,000.听With the help of loyal friends and members like you, we know we can keep this momentum going and raise our total goal of $1.5 million over the next four years 鈥� or even sooner!聽Naming opportunities exist at the following levels:

  • Naming of building = $1,000,000
  • Naming of conference room or floor = $300,000 鈥� $500,000
  • Naming of an individual office (sizes vary) = $100,000 鈥� $200,000
  • Name recognition on smaller office spaces = $25,000 鈥� $99,999
  • Name on plaque recognizing major donors = $10,000 or more
  • Name on a plaque recognizing all donors at 鈥渂rick鈥� level or higher = $250 or more

Materiality of Religion in Judean Households: A Contextual Analysis of Ritual Objects from Iron II Tell en-Na峁eh

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
Available until December 21, 2018[/vc_column_text][mk_divider][vc_column_text], September 2018, “Materiality of Religion in Judean Households: A Contextual Analysis of Ritual Objects from Iron II Tell en-Na峁eh” by Aaron Brody (Bad猫 Museum at Pacific School of Religion)

The author highlights household religion through a direct, contextual presentation of ritual artifacts from one Judean household compound at Tell en-Na峁eh in their original contexts. The compound is made of five conjoined pillared houses that constitute the living space of one extended family. The author takes a gendered approach to the artifacts, which include female pillar figurines, animal figurines, horse-and-rider figurines, incense stands, and zoomorphic vessels. Ritualized utilitarian objects are also taken into account. This approach to ritual at the site adds to our understanding of the religious culture of women, men, children, families, and households at Na峁eh. Most notably the author proposes that the concentration of ritual objects near the two kitchen spaces in the compound suggests that the female head of household who provided sustenance for the extended family and its dependents also presided over the religious health of the household.
