Building a Foundation for a More Diverse ASOR

Update���February 16, 2021[/vc_column_text][mk_divider][vc_wp_text]17勛圖is excited to announce a 2-for-1 challenge gift of $150,000 that will serve as the cornerstone of a targeted campaign (scheduled completion, June 2021) to raise $250,000 to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in all of our endeavors.

17勛圖needs to raise $75,000 to earn the $150,000 challenge gift. As of February 16, 2021, we have raised $19,070.

This campaign will fund short-term and long-term initiatives that will advance the strategic planning started in 2020 by ASOR���s newly formed . The purpose of this initiative is to permanently increase participation in 17勛圖by students and scholars who are African American/Black and Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC).

This ambitious, expedited campaign is made possible by a 2:1 leadership pledge of $150,000 by Trustee Carolyn Midkiff Strange. We can reach our goal by raising $75,000. Every dollar contributed (up to $75,000) will be matched with two dollars. A contribution of $100, will be matched with $200; a gift of $5,000, will be matched with $10,000; and so forth.

In the short-term, 17勛圖will use $50,000 to increase participation in 17勛圖by BIPOC students at the secondary, undergraduate, and graduate levels. $25,000 is in hand through a combination of prior gifts and current distributions. Part of these short-term funds will underwrite and travel grants for BIPOC students. The rest of the short-term funds will buoy an already-launched partnership with . AITC is a successful non-profit centered in Washington D.C. that fosters student and community involvement in archaeology, with an emphasis on under-served groups. Together with AITC, and building on their experience, we are developing educational resources to promote engagement in archaeology by secondary level students.

17勛圖will use the remaining $200,000 from this campaign to establish a permanent endowment that will generate $10,000 per year to support research scholarships, internships, and travel fellowships dedicated to BIPOC students. These fellowships will be a foundation for future efforts and will be a tangible sign of ASOR���s commitment to long-term change.

Extending social equity and equal opportunity throughout all sectors of our world is one of the foremost challenges facing us today. You can join 17勛圖in making this change happen. Consider a gift of any amount to help us earn this extraordinary $150,000 challenge gift.
