Books for the Library
$3,000
The Arthur & Janet C. Ross Library is a treasured resource for scholars working in Rome and is home to 160,000 volumes in the fields of classical studies and the history of Italian art and architecture. Help enrich and expand this collection for Fellows and the public.
Internships for Young Chefs
$2,500
Founded by Alice Waters, the AAR’s Rome Sustainable Food Project is both a production and teaching kitchen. The RSFP internship teaches emerging chefs about Roman cuisine and running a sustainable kitchen. Support the education of a RSFP intern and foster the next generation of American chefs inspired by the Italian tradition.
A Greener Academy
$1,500
Propel the AAR on its path to environmental sustainability by supporting our green initiatives. We are working on solar panels to capture the abundant Roman sunlight, updating light fixtures with energy efficient LED bulbs, and zoned heating and hot water for more intelligent usage in our historic McKim, Mead & White building.
Collaborative Projects
$1,000
Foster the surprising, cross-disciplinary special projects that emerge as a result of our Fellows’ time in Rome. Your gift will provide opportunities for Fellows to intersect with Rome and with each other in unexpected ways.

The McKim Medal Gala in Rome honors individuals whose work internationally—especially in Italy and in the United States—has contributed significantly to the arts and humanities, and whose life exemplifies creative and intellectual exchange across the arts, scholarship, language, and culture. Proceeds support the American Academy in Rome’s efforts to foster interdisciplinary exchange among Italian and American artists and scholars within an exceptional global community. The Fellowship program enables talented Italians and Americans to pursue their work in an intellectually stimulating environment, and to contribute to evolving international discourse and interdisciplinary exchange through their participation in Academy programs such as concerts, lectures, readings, and exhibitions.

Planned Giving
The McKim & Morgan Society is named for Charles Follen McKim and J. Pierpont Morgan, founders of the American Academy in Rome. Their visionary leadership created the Academy, located it on the highest hill within the ancient walls in Rome, and began the endowment that established the Academy and helped to assure its permanence.
The McKim & Morgan Society is comprised of individuals who have made a commitment to the future of the American Academy in Rome by including the Academy in their estate plans, and have provided gift documentation to the Academy. Members include those who have written a charitable gift to the Academy by bequest, made a life income arrangement for the benefit of the Academy, or named the Academy as beneficiary of a retirement plan or life insurance policy.
