For over 30 years TARII has supported and facilitated scholarly research and exchange in and on Iraq. This important mission is rooted in the TARII Research Center and Library in Baghdad, our projects across Iraq and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, and international programs.

With TARII’s minimal budget your donation will go a long way in supporting our mission.

We need you now more than ever.

Become a founding supporter of the tarii research center and library

TARII is developing the Center in Baghdad to connect scholars, house visiting researchers, and host events. While acting as a crucial hub for scholars, it will also be the core of TARII’s programs in Iraq, such as cultural heritage preservation projects, research fellowships, art and history exhibitions, heritage and environment studies and more! The library, The McGuire Gibson Research Library, will offer visitors free access to important print and online research resources as well as trainings.

Interested in being a Founding Supporter of the TARII Research Center and Library? Donations of $5,000 or more may be included on a plaque that will be displayed at the Center.

Visit our Campaign Page or contribute through the box below. Thank you in advance for your support!

Also check out TARII’s Wall of Honor recognizing the vital contributions of our supporters.


Donate today and you’ll become a part of the effort to study and preserve Iraqi cultural heritage, while also supporting the cross-cultural exchange of ideas and scholarship. 

Iraq Speaker Scholarship

TARII offers a scholarship for Iraqi scholars invited to speak at international events and programs. The scholarship offsets the travel costs associated with the event, which often hinders the participation of these worthy speakers.

This program is funded entirely by donations from the TARII community. Give today and support this very needed scholarship!
