Donation Areas
Where Your Gift Goes
Fellowships
Your gift directly funds stipends, research travel, and archival access for the next generation of scholars studying the Alid tradition. A gift of $5,000 or more sustains one month of a fellow's full-time research.
Archives
Support the digitization, cataloguing, and preservation of rare manuscripts and primary-source documents in IARC's growing collection. Your gift ensures these irreplaceable materials remain accessible to scholars worldwide.
Events
IARC events — lectures, symposia, and community programs — bring scholarship out of the academy and into the community. Your gift subsidizes registration costs, enabling students and scholars from underrepresented communities to participate.
Endowment
A gift to the IARC Endowment creates permanent, compounding support for the Center's core programs. Endowment gifts are invested and the annual return funds fellowships, publications, and operations — ensuring IARC's mission continues for generations.
