CASH DONATIONS:
The IISOH is seeking $1 million (one million Dollars) from a benefactor
in order to establish a permanent endowment for the sport of
ARCHERY
This is a naming opportunity for the benefactor to have a perpetual identification with the sport of ARCHERY. The endowment would be named by the benefactor with the approval of the IISOH Board of Directors. The endowment will be established with the donation and the funds will be invested in a trust fund by the Institute. Only the interest earned quarterly from the trust investment will be used to develop the ARCHERY collections in both the Library and Museum.
Of course -- cash donations IN ANY AMOUNT are always welcome.
Any donation -- in any amount -- can be designated for the Archery endowment.
Donors receive varying forms of recognition for their generosity --
but naming the endowment is reserved for the million dollar donor.

Archery is one of the oldest sports in man's history. Used as a weapon in warfare for millenia, tales of archery as a sport date from the earliest times in history such as England's tales of Robin Hood, and Switzerland's tales of William Tell. Archery is practiced world-wide and is one of the sports in the modern Olympic Games.
