Ensure Our Long-term Success

Achieving long-term financial security and organizational viability will enable the Center to ensure the future of our shared past for generations to come. Here’s how you can help through your generous donations.

First, we invite you to join the Center’s Heritage Circle, a truly special group of donors who have made a commitment to support the Center with an unrestricted gift of $1,000 or more each year for five years. Heritage Circle donors help to provide the Center with reliable operating support.

The Center is also incredibly fortunate to have the generous support of its Legacy Circle, those donors who have made a decision to support the Center beyond their own lifetimes through a planned gift such as a bequest or a life income gift.

For more information on these special opportunities, please contact Linda Pierce at (520) 882-6946, ext. 23 or by email.

Tribute gifts are a meaningful way to honor or memorialize someone special while supporting the good work of the Center for Desert Archaeology. Your tribute gift can be of any size. The names of all honorees are listed in a special section of our Annual Report, and we can send a special notification letter to the honoree or another family member, as you wish. Visit our donation page to make your tribute gift.

In addition, you may establish a named endowment at the Center—a singularly effective way to leave your legacy by supporting the aspects of preservation archaeology that mean the most to you. Likewise, a fund may be established in the name of a friend or family member you wish to memorialize. Please contact Linda Pierce at (520) 882-6946, ext. 23 or by email to discuss endowment naming opportunities.
