We find ourselves at a moment of great opportunity.

Together, we have the chance to build on the important accomplishments of 150 years of service to the nation by committing to an even brighter future, one that is bold, transformable, and achievable. The AIA150 campaign’s funding priorities, The Blueprint for America, Public Service & Outreach, 21st Century Workplace, Scholarships & Research, and the AAF and Octagon, are well grounded in the AIA’s most cherished values and well suited to the complex realities of today’s world.

This historic undertaking, the first-ever AIA-led capital fundraising initiative, has enjoyed tremendous success under the leadership of a core leadership team, lead by Honorary Cochair Norbert W. Young, Jr., FAIA, and National Cochairs Norman L. Koonce, FAIA, Ronald L. Skaggs, FAIA in securing influential gifts from prominent members of the architecture community. Already, $7 million has been invested toward a $15 million fundraising goal. Leading the way in sponsorships is our Founders Circle Sponsor: McGraw-Hill Construction, The Official Media Sponsor.

We invite you to join us in preparing for the surprises of a changing world and confronting the increasingly diverse challenges posed to our communities. We envision new roles for citizen-architects to create profound legacies of natural beauty, ecological balance, long-term stability, and environmental health for future generations. Each campaign gift decision affects the next, and your financial involvement at a leadership level will surely inspire others to give generously.

Many influential members of the architecture community have joined the campaign as sponsors. Currently, we have received 100% support from the AIA’s Board of Directors with pledges totaling over $300K. As well as the overwhelming support of the members of Large Firm Round Table pledging more than $3 million with many more gifts anticipated. Former Presidents of the AIA have joined in the AIA150’s vision giving over $80k. Also, corporations that share the same passion and for the AIA150’s vision of the future have given their full support and nearly $2.5 million.

As outlined here, gifts to the campaign will be directed to its most urgent funding priorities. Gifting options and pledge payment plans offer donors great flexibility. In fact, gifts and pledge payments may be made in a number of ways, with emphasis on those that can be used immediately. Pledge and outright gifts may be paid by check, electronic fund transfer, and credit card. Moreover, charitable commitments are payable over a five-year period. Information on gifting strategies is available, and charitable gifts to AIA Legacy, Inc. are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

This campaign boldly aspires toward the AIA’s ideal of “ever-increasing service to society,” validated by the professions’ contributions, secure in our core competencies, and alive with hope. We invite you to be apart of this unprecedented effort that is AIA150.
