IDP has achieved much but still has several years of work ahead to digitise the complete Silk Road legacy. Funded almost entirely from grants and donations it relies on your help to continue its core work. By making a regular annual donation as a Silk Road Supporter you will enable this work to continue.
Please select your country of residence
Three minimal levels of annual support and a single life supporter payment are suggested but we welcome donations above the minimum level. To simplify administration, donations will be collected for the calendar year. We ask all UK donations to be made by Direct Debit to reduce our administration and also ask you to tick the Gift Aid box which significantly increases the level of your donation without cost to yourself.
Supporters will receive a complimentary pack of IDP postcards, and be added to the mailing list for the IDP bi-annual newsletter and other mailings.
In addition to the postcards and newsletter mailing, supporters will receive a complimentary online sutra sponsorship with a personal dedication alongside the image of your sponsored sutra. You will receive invitations to IDP events.
Supporters will receive complimentary sutra sponsorship of a long scroll with a large photographic print of the title page, along with complimentary copies of IDP publications and invitations to all IDP and special events, including personalised tours and opportunities to meet staff and visiting scholars.
Supporters receive the same benefits as Jade Supporters.
