Today is Giving Tuesday! All around the world, people are giving to their favorite charities, nonprofits, and foundations to effect positive change in their communities. Will you help grow the archives profession?
The SAA Foundation invites you to donate to the Strategic Growth Fund, an unrestricted fund dedicated to advancing professional priorities through direct grants to our colleagues. In 2021, we funded six important projects that are advancing the archives profession in so many ways. Tempestt Hazel of Sixty Inches from Center had this to say about the difference a Foundation grant made for her organization:
All of us at Sixty Inches From Center are incredibly grateful for the grant we received from the SAA Foundation because it has helped us ground and evolve our work with archives and has opened up countless new paths for connecting our cultural communities directly with the archives community. I can't speak about the funding support without also acknowledging how the grant combined with the other forms of support and recognition we've received from SAA has and will help shape the future of Sixty's work with archives. We are humbled by the way we have been received by the archives community because of the SAA Foundation and SAA—and we look forward to the opportunities that these new relationships will bring.
Make a gift today of $10, $20, $100—or any amount—to the SAA Foundation and ensure that we have the resources and flexibility to support our entire community.
The SAA Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization. Donations to the Strategic Growth Fund or any other fund of your choice are tax deductible.
