Update—June 4, 2021 ($24,600 needed to earn remaining $49,200 of matching gift)[/vc_column_text][mk_divider][vc_column_text]
A Time for Change
A Time for ChangeThere are tipping points in history when systemic cultural and economic inequities must be faced head-on with courage and commitment. We at Â鶹ֱ²¥ believe that our society is facing such a tipping point now with regards to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Rarely do we see such a convergence of understanding and a desire for change. In this moment, Â鶹ֱ²¥ is fortunate that one of our trustees has taken the initiative to provide a 2-for-1 challenge gift that will enable our organization to create sustainable change.
An Exciting Initiative
Â鶹ֱ²¥ has long aspired to be an instrument of change, and it is a recognized leader for setting professional, ethical, academic, and cultural standards. Nothing illustrates this better than this exciting and generous 2-for-1 challenge gift of $150,000. This is the cornerstone of a targeted campaign to raise $250,000 to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion.
The purpose of this initiative is to permanently increase participation in Â鶹ֱ²¥ by students and scholars who are African American/Black and Indigenous Persons of Color (BIPOC). By acting effectively now, Â鶹ֱ²¥ can be a leader in setting standards and procedures to promote greater diversity, equity, and inclusion.
How the Matching Challenge Works
This ambitious, expedited campaign, made possible by a 2:1 leadership pledge of $150,000 by Trustee Carolyn Midkiff Strange, has a June 30 deadline. From now until the end of June, every dollar contributed to this campaign (up to a total of $75,000) is being 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 on.
Immediate Actions
In the short term (2021), Â鶹ֱ²¥ will use $50,000 to increase participation in Â鶹ֱ²¥ by BIPOC students at the secondary, undergraduate, and graduate levels. Â鶹ֱ²¥ will also underwrite Summer Stipends, Annual Meeting travel grants, and mentoring programs for BIPOC students and scholars.
The rest of the short-term funds (for 2021) will buoy an already-launched partnership with Archaeology in the Community (AITC). 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.
A Permanent Endowment
Â鶹ֱ²¥ 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 and scholars. These fellowships will be a foundation for future efforts and will be a tangible sign of Â鶹ֱ²¥’s commitment to long-term change.
Join Us
Extending social equity and equal opportunity throughout all sectors of our world is one of the foremost challenges facing us today. You can join Â鶹ֱ²¥ in making this change happen. Please consider to help us earn this extraordinary $150,000 challenge gift.
