Help Us Grow!
Volunteer Opportunities
Right now AIP’s most immediate need is help with building the catalogue.
If you have some time to donate and would be interested in joining our staff as a volunteer library assistant, we would love to talk to you.
You will work with the AIP library staff on your own schedule and from your own computer. You should plan on an average of 4 hours per week.
The skillset we are looking for:
– An interest in astrology and awareness of astrological systems and terminology.
– Ideally, library cataloging experience, preferably using MARC
– Minimally, some experience working with library systems. This can include digital platforms using metadata, article databases, library guides, etc.
– Good with detail work.
– Interested in learning more to improve skills.
Cash and In-Kind Donations
Planned Giving and Estate Planning
You can earmark your gift to be used for catalogue expansion and operations and/or assign it to be used for digital special collections development.
AIP accepts cash and non-cash donations.
Unrestricted gifts of stocks, annuities, bonds, mutual funds, or other equities can be transferred to AIP’s account at Charles Schwab. Contact AIP for account information.
Real Estate
Smaller items that can be sold at auction such as art and jewelry are welcome. Please check first to make sure it’s an item we can accept. You would be responsible for shipping and valuing items for tax purposes.
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD)
Ask your tax professional how to take advantage of QCDs to reduce your tax liability on mandatory IRA distributions.
In-Kind Donations
Do you have a product or service that AIP could use? Copyright permitted digital content, library expertise, scanning services, or perhaps software development that would help AIP achieve its goals. It’s tax deductible. Check with us to find out if it’s something we can use.
