AOS Endowment Funds

The American Oriental Society acknowledges with gratitude receipt of gifts from generous contributors to the Society’s Endowment Fund, Graduate Student Award Fund, and Life Membership Fund. The continued generous support of members who contribute funds in addition to membership dues is much appreciated and essential for the financial well-being of the Society. Contributions to the Graduate Student Award Fund are especially valuable, as they are gifts that ensure the prosperous future of the AOS by encouraging participation of younger members in the affairs of the Society. Members are encouraged to continue their generosity each year.
