Restricted gift
You could also choose to restrict your gift so that it goes to a particular aspect of our work, for example:
Research grants
IASA began making awards to support research in the Arabian peninsula from 2013 following a generous donation from the IASA Patron, Valeria Piacentini. We have since continued to make awards by drawing down on reserves, but this is not sustainable in the long term. We have thus set up the IASA Grants Fund with the aim of attracting donations to enable us to continue supporting research in the long term.
These grants make a real difference in sustaining current research and supporting a new generation of researchers. We attach great importance to disseminating the outcomes of research in the form of publications, contributions to conferences and inspiring exhibitions. Recipients of awards are required to make full reports to the IASA and agree to give lectures organised by the IASA as well as writing shorter reports in our bi-annual bulletin to make outcomes known as widely as possible.
Support for graduate students
We would also like to help promising young academics or graduate students from the Arabian Peninsula to attend the Seminar for Arabian Studies by the award of a grant for travel and stipend.
If you would like to discuss making a restricted gift, please email us.

You might like to think about sponsoring one of the IASA lectures. Sponsorship allows us to attract speakers from abroad, or to provide a networking reception alongside the event. To find out more about sponsorship of events please email us.

For a residuary gift (the amount of the whole or portion of your estate after other legacies, Inheritance Tax and expenses have been paid): “I give the International Association for the Study of Arabia (IASA) ___% of the residue of my estate for general purposes.”
For a specific gift (a bequest of specific personal possessions such as property or stocks and shares): “I give the International Association for the Study of Arabia (IASA) my ____ for its general purposes.”
Or, to support a specific part of our work*: “I give theInternational Association for the Study of Arabia (IASA)… insert wording for a residuary/pecuniary/specific gift as appropriate and I wish this to be used for _____ purposes.”
* if there is a specific part of our work, other than those mentioned above, which you would like to see benefit from your gift please contact us before finalising your Will so that you can be sure that your wishes can be met.
If you have any questions or would like to speak with someone about how you can leave a legacy to support The IASA, please contact Simon Alderson (mobile 07966 260 086) who will be pleased to help.
