Sustaining and Supporting Memberships

Do you know that the American Academy of Religion has two new membership categories?

The Sustaining Membership, which is only $1,000 annually, allows you to make a huge impact and increase the power of your support as you put more of your dollars into your professional life and organization. In addition to all the benefits of being an AAR member, the Sustaining Member receives special benefits including: complimentary Annual Meeting registration, priority access to Annual Meeting hotels as a VIP, and a portion of your Sustaining Membership is tax-deductible. Your Sustaining Membership will provide a reliable stream of support that allows AAR to plan for the future, invest more of your contribution into the programs you value, save hundreds of thousands of dollars in postage, paper, and administrative costs, and conserve paper by cutting down on renewal mailings.

The Supporting Membership, which is $500 annually, gives you all of your member benefits, such as the Journal of the American Academy of Religion and Religious Studies News. A large portion of your membership is also tax-deductible.

If you are interested in investing in the American Academy of Religion through these special membership categories, please contact Paula D.
