Giving Day is April 9—10

Please help the Oriental Institute begin its Centennial Year with a bang, as we futher understand, reveal, and protect the world's earliest civilizations and reinforce the autonomy, diversity, and unity of the world today.

Consider supporting one of four areas of focus that reflect and advance our mission: 

  • The Fund for the Oriental Institute 

  • OI Research and Archaeology Support

  • OI Museum and Collections Support

  • OI Community Education and Outreach Support

Gifts of any amount will be doubled by John D. Ong—emeritus trustee of the University of Chicago, past chair of the OI visiting committee, and former United States ambassador to Norway—who will generously match all gifts made to the OI on Giving Day. 

Please consider making an early donation today!
