Your Donation Really Helps

Protect Culture

As a grass-roots focused organization, it’s important to use our resources to maximum effect.

Our headquarters are in a beautiful but rent-free, donated space in Arlington.

Almost everyone in the organization and the affiliates is an unpaid volunteer.

Our legal work, our graphics designs and our accounting are done for us pro-bono. We find that this not only lowers the costs, it also raises the quality – people contributing their talents and their time.

But sometimes it’s about money.

We’re low budget.

We’re transparent.

We’re very very thrifty with your money.

Here’s what we’re doing that costs money right now:

  1. Printing a storybook of an ancient Silk Road legend, with illustrations by hip Istanbul artist Murat Palta
  2. Buying paint, brushes stencils and other supplies for street artists who are painting Rumi quotes on blast walls in Kabul
  3. Putting up metal placards to help our local activists tell the story of an underwater city in Neapolis, Greece and a historic city wall in Cologne, Germany

And some more ambitious projects:

  1. Creating a boardwalk to keep people off the archaeological ruins and the fragile Roman salt flats (and coincidentally also the turtle breeding grounds) on the beach of Pavlopetri, while allowing them to enjoy the sights
  2. Conserving the tomb of the Prophet Nahum in Kurdistan

We need your help to make these things possible.

We promise to use your every dollar thoughtfully and carefully.

VOLUNTEER OR INTERN WITH US

No cog in a big wheel –
at ARCH, as an intern,
you’ll immediately
become part
of the core team

Volunteer at the Alliance for the Restoration of Cultural Heritage

The strength of the ARCH network is made up by the breadth of professional expertise by our volunteers. We have found that nearly any skill set can prove important for a specific project.

You might not think of a ship captain as an essential part of a heritage organization but he was invaluable when it came to protecting the world’s oldest underwater city Pavlopetri.  An expert in mining explosives that are used in the alps was key to finding a solution in Mes Aynak. A group of Thai students demonstrated in front of UNESCO headquarters to save a Buddhist city.

 

 If you share our passion for heritage you almost definitely have a skill that’s valuable to our team. A few hours a week of your personal commitment to a cause you find especially relevant, could sometimes be the decisive factor between success or set-back. Contact us if you can spare time. Whether it be a work space in our DC office or your laptop wherever you are – we have things for you to do.
