2024 Anniversary Appeal
for Donations
to celebrate our
2024 Landmark Anniversary
We invite you to join the Appeal for our 2024 Anniversary Year, when the Research Group will celebrate 2 landmarks in our history:
- 25 years as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational corporation based in Princeton, New Jersey
- 35 years as an international scholarly organization founded in Cambridge, England, as part of a major research project at the Parker Library of Corpus Christi College.
Our 2024 Anniversary Appeal
We seek your help to continue with our work, maintain our organizational operations, and progress with our activities and their planning. As a nonprofit educational organization “Without Members”, we must turn to donations from individuals and institutions, supplemented by grants, where available, and by the pro-bono contributions which power most of what we can do.
The 2024 Anniversary Appeal Letter
The 2024 Anniversary Appeal Letter gives a collective statement of our needs and goals, as the result of months’-long consultations. It concisely lists our achievements, progress, aims, wishes, and gaps-to-fill for this Anniversary.
