Help us Reach Our Year-End Goal!

Your gift makes FAIC stronger, more resilient, and ready for the future

Your gift to FAIC makes all the difference. It provides the foundational support we urgently need to stabilize operations, continue to deliver our strategic priorities, and scaffold growth in new, more sustainable ways. With your help, we can move from crisis management to long-term resilience in 2026. Your support this year ensures FAIC can continue to:

  • Offer professional development workshops that remain deeply subsidized for all, and scholarships to further support one-third of participants.
  • Maintain the Global Conservation Forum, connecting 11,000+ members of our field across borders and specialties.
  • Deploy the National Heritage Responders swiftly when disaster strikes.

Our goal is to raise $50,000 in individual donations, which is what we budgeted for this year. To date, we’ve raised $32,000. Will you help us raise an additional $18,000 by December 31?

Other Ways to Help

I give annually to FAIC but have also included the foundation in my estate planning. Why? Because I know that education, collection care information, emergency assistance, advocacy, and other vital services will be needed for as long as we strive to preserve cultural heritage.

Margaret (Peggy) Holben Ellis

Past President, AIC

Giving a name to the concepts discussed and providing an organized framework to examine the work relationships that I have had in the past and am currently engaging in has been hugely helpful.
