Tribute Gifts

A gift that honors a life.

A gift made in a person’s name is always a meaningful way to mark a special occasion or to remember or honor a beloved family member, respected friend, colleague, or pet. 

A gift to The Archaeological Research Institute in honor or memory of a loved one is a wonderful tribute for any occasion. Not only will your gift be a lasting tribute, but it will also provide critical funding needed to protect archaeological sites by educating the public through hands-on experiences.  

The Archaeological Research Institute welcomes contributions in any amount. All gifts will be recognized with an acknowledgement letter to the recipient; the gift amount will remain confidential. 

To learn more about our honor and memorial gifts, please contact the Department of Resource Development at 812.290.2966 or email our Resource Development Director at nichelle@exploreari.org.
