Religious Studies Matters: Fall Fundraising Campaign
We are already halfway to our goal — help us get there!
In order to sustain our collective endeavors, we are launching a Fall Fundraising Campaign that will run until November 15. Some individual “AAR matchmakers” and members of the AAR Board of Directors have agreed to match up to $35,000 in the hopes of raising a total of $70,000. No contribution is too small!
