"When we return to a reopened society, these objects, archives, sites, and stories will prove a sense of continuity and connection with our history and each other....Loss of access to our shared heritage is a loss of our shared memory."  - Jon Parrish Peede, former head of NEH, keynote speech at the AIC Annual Meeting, May 21, 2020.

Your investment in the Foundation's people, programs, and resources will help improve conservation in the United States and around the world.

Why Give

  • Read or posted to the Global Conservation Forum (or ConsDistList)?
  • Searched Conservation OnLine (CoOL)?
  • Viewed a free webinar in the Connecting to Collections Care Online Community?
  • Participated in one of our workshops?

If so, you have benefited from a program of the Foundation for Advancement in Conservation.

As a donor, you support these essential and highly valued professional resources. Each year, we must raise more than $245,000 to supplement our existing resources and keep them going. General AIC membership dues do not fund these programs, so each initiative we undertake is made possible with the assistance of generous gifts from supporters like you. Help them remain strong for the future by growing your individual contribution. 

Our Funding Gap

Every foundation program is built around, is supported by, and shares responsibility for core mission support. Core mission support supplies the finance, human resources, governance, and fundraising infrastructure that sustains the entire organization.

When programs are only partially funded by contributions or earned revenue or when support is limited to only the direct expenses of the program, we face a gap. Not only is one program affected, but the health of the entire organization is at risk.

If you value the resources and services provided by the Foundation, please consider making a gift, of any size, to strengthen the organization that works to support conservation efforts and the preservation of cultural heritage. Donations to our general fund do more to support the breadth of all of our programs, including the ones that you care about the most.
