- A gift to the AAA Unrestricted Fund allows greater flexibility to meet future challenges and emerging new opportunities.
- A gift to the General AAA Endowment Fund enables AAA to continue advancing the discipline of anthropology by broadening its programs and services for years to come.
- A gift to the AAA Pathways Initiative helps shape distinctive learning opportunities at pre-college levels to introduce high school students to the newest anthropological ideas and research.
- A gift to the AAA Professional Development helps meet a critical need for programming that serves anthropologists across a range of professional settings and at every career stage.
- A gift to the Public Awareness, Outreach and Engagement Initiatives helps AAA with public programming and events around RACE: Are We So Different? and our new project, World on the Move: 250,000 Years of Human Migration, aiming to change the public conversation about an important, yet difficult topic – migration and displacement.
