Donate to the Work of AIYS

​

Membership fees and tax-deductible contributions over the years have supported AIYS in its continuous growth and helped it to enlarge and adapt the programs that support American research in Yemen. Today they are needed more than ever to support specific purposes such as the AIYS library, the fellowship program for Yemeni citizens, supporting our Yemeni staff, supporting the arts in Yemen, or contributing to our US scholarship funds. Your contribution will be of great help in sustaining these efforts.
