мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± the Heritage Membership
Heritage Members work with мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± to establish a Heritage Partnership with one of мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±’s affiliated excavation projects. мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± will distribute funds to designated individuals or projects as advised by the Heritage Member. If the Heritage member does not designate the funds, a selection committee may make the allocations. Heritage Members may choose to participate actively (on field teams or with laboratory work), or passively providing grant support to enable student or staff participation, underwrite equipment purchases or publication costs, or offer other assistance according to their own wishes and arrangements with project leaders.
This contribution category consists of a tax deductible contribution to мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± of $2500. $500 supports the ongoing work of мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± and $2000 goes toward the direct support of the scholarship or fellowship.
