Support American Indian & Indigenous Studies
Your support helps ensure that these programs, opportunities, and connections continue for future generations of students and community members.
What Your Support Makes Possible
For more than 50 years, American Indian & Indigenous Studies at UW–Madison has connected students, scholars, Tribal communities, and the University through teaching, research, cultural programming, and community engagement.
Your support helps us continue and strengthen this work. Gifts to AIIS create meaningful opportunities for students, sustain community-engaged programs that bring Indigenous Elders, storytellers, and knowledge keepers to campus, support the teaching and sharing of Indigenous languages and knowledge, and advance research and scholarship in American Indian & Indigenous Studies.
Every gift helps sustain these opportunities for students and the broader community while supporting the continued growth of AIIS and our relationships with Indigenous communities.
