Over the last couple of years, we've had over 1,200+ guests for International Archaeology Day! We've welcomed 46+ incredible exhibitors, hosted free offsite cultural tours, featured 3 powerful speakers, held a tipi demonstration, and danced with Indigenous Corporation 5280—all with the help of our amazing volunteers and the generous support of people like you.

As we prepare for IAD 2026, we remain committed to celebrating cultural diversity, inclusive historical narratives, and amplifying voices from our BIPOC community. While we’ve been fortunate to receive generous grants in past years, current funding challenges across the preservation field mean it's more important than ever to help those dollars stretch further for other essential work.

That’s why we’ve set a goal of raising $33,000 for IAD 2026! We’re thrilled to partner with Colorado Preservation, Inc. (CPI) as our fiscal sponsor. Through CPI, your donations are tax-deductible and directly support the continuation of this free, community-powered event.

We know not everyone is in a position to sponsor, and that’s okay! There are still so many ways to be involved! Whether you want to volunteer, spread the word, or donate in another way, we’d love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out to [email protected] with any questions or ideas.

Thank you for being part of this journey. We truly couldn’t do it without you!
