Your Support Matters
Your gift helps the Amerind community learn and experience even more Native American history and enjoy the rich cultural diversity of the Southwest. With your partnership, in the next five years we will:

- Propel Amerind into a larger public and research world spotlight
- Renovate and restore our historic facilities and breathtaking property to serve Amerind’s 21st century needs
Greatest Museum Needs
Your unrestricted giving at every level benefits the ongoing work of Amerind, including our annual fund and operational expenses in exhibits, collections, research, and programming.
Curator Endowment
The care and protection of Amerind’s world-class collection over 40,000 objects requires dedicated full-time curatorial leadership with appropriate and stable financial resources. Our Chief Curator position, the William Duncan Fulton Curator of Anthropology, is funded by the Endowment and leads all of our curatorial work, collections care, and museum exhibition strategy. You, the Amerind community, have an opportunity to make an endowed gift of any amount. Your ongoing support of the Curator Endowment will continue growing this critical resource for our museum, long into the future.
Planned Giving
Planned giving opportunities are available as a most generous way to share your own personal legacy with the Amerind community through your estate, retirement account, stock investments, and property.
Support Our Campaign and Connections
Now is the time to strengthen Amerind’s future for even more curious scholars, students, artists, and community members to continue learning and exploring. Your campaign support upholds the four pillars of Amerind’s complex work in Research, Arts, Nature, and Preservation alongside our Greatest Museum Needs below. Learn more about the successful outcomes of our capital campaign.
Community generosity provides opportunities for Indigenous artists and leaders to share their art and traditions. You support scholars writing new chapters in Southwestern history and world archaeology. You allow expansion of our collections and critical improvements to our magnificent historic facilities.
Amerind relies on private support for nearly half of our annual operating expenses. All that we do throughout the year is for and because of you.
Beautiful and significant new collections are growing community learning, such as the addition of over 10,000 stunning Zuni (A:shiwi) and Navajo (Diné) jewelry pieces. Innovative research topics are improving our understanding of the US-Mexico borderlands and other complex issues.
What is your greatest passion for Amerind?
Giving opportunities are available to support all aspects of our mission whether your key interest is in our scholarly contributions, world-class collections, educational public programming, western and contemporary Indigenous art, or our historic facilities.
