May 1, 2020—To date, the Archival Workers Emergency Fund has supported 77 archival workers in need! Thank you to the AWEF Review Committee for their diligent work each week to get these fund dispersed!
And thank you to our many generous donors for making this possible. We have raised more than $60,850 from 455 donors, in addition to the Foundation Board's initial $15,000 seed funding. This is fantastic news, as we continue to receive new applications each day. The AWEF Review Committee continues to evaluate weekly and disperse funds as quickly as possible!
Much gratitude and thanks to all those who have contributed in so many ways to the Archival Workers Emergency Fund!
If you have the means, please consider donating to directly support your fellow archival workers who have been furloughed, lost hours, or otherwise been significantly affected financially by the COVID-19 crisis. Any amount will help!
The Society of American Archivists Foundation is the nation's leading source of nonprofit funding dedicated to the interests of archives and archivists. Donations to the SAA Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, are tax deductible.
