Your gift will ensure that ARI continues to organize trailblazing experiences, plan dynamic outreach and educational programs for the community, and advocate for indigenous communities well into the future.
If you are interested in remembering ARI in your estate plans, we are eager to work with you to realize your intentions and recognize you as a member of the Archaeological Research Institute’s Legacy Society.
CLICK HERE to review our Donor Policy.
You can designate the institute as a beneficiary through a life insurance policy or retirement plan. If you are at least 70 ½ years of age, you can transfer up to $100,000 from your IRA account to the institute. If the transfer is made directly to the institute, the withdrawal is not taxable as income.Â
Name ARI as a beneficiary through a will or an amendment to a will. A bequest to the institute may take the form of a specific dollar amount, a property asset, or a percentage of your estate. Please view the Suggested Bequest or Trust Language document for more information.Â
A Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) allows donors to transfer assets (stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, or cash donations) in exchange for guaranteed income for life. Donating through a gift annuity allows you to:Â
By accompanying your planned gift with a contribution today, blended gifts can provide near-term and future benefits for the institute, while also helping to ensure long-term financial security for you and your loved ones.Â
The institute can be the recipient of other types of gifts, such as real estate, land donations, or gifts of stock or securities. If you designate the institute to receive real estate, please state in your will that the property is to be sold through your estate and the institute is to receive the proceeds from its sale, unless it is intended to be a preserved archaeological site. Please contact us to discuss gifts of stock or securities.Â
By making a donation to The Archaeological Research Institute in honor or memory of your loved one, you not only create a lasting tribute but also contribute to the crucial funding needed for the preservation of archaeological sites. These funds enable us to educate the public through immersive, hands-on experiences.
No matter the size of your contribution, The Archaeological Research Institute warmly welcomes it. In recognition of your generous gift, we will send an acknowledgement letter to the recipient while ensuring that the donation amount remains confidential.
Imagine a future where history comes to life, where ancient civilizations are not merely pages in textbooks, but immersive experiences that transport us through time. At ARI, we are on a mission to create that future, and we need your generous support to make it a reality.
We are thrilled to announce our ambitious $5 million campaign to build ARI Basecamp 2.0, a groundbreaking facility, located in Lawrenceburg, IN, that will revolutionize the field of public archaeology in the region. With your contribution, we will construct a state-of-the-art building that will serve as the epicenter of archaeological exploration, research, and community engagement.
ARI is now a member of the Kroger Community Rewards Program. We are so grateful to Kroger for their generosity!
