Last year, over 1,200 guests joined us for our biggest International Archaeology Day ever! We welcomed 46 incredible exhibitors, hosted 5 offsite cultural tours, featured 3 powerful speakers, held a tipi demonstration, and danced with Indigenous Corporation 5280—all with the help of our amazing volunteers and the generous support of people like you.

As we prepare for IAD 2025, we remain committed to celebrating cultural diversity, inclusive historical narratives, and amplifying voices from our BIPOC community. While we’ve been fortunate to receive generous grants in past years, current funding challenges across the preservation field mean it's more important than ever to help those dollars stretch further for other essential work.

That’s why we’ve set a goal of raising $33,000 for IAD 2025—and we’re thrilled to once again partner with Colorado Preservation, Inc. (CPI) as our fiscal sponsor. Through CPI, your donations are tax-deductible and directly support the continuation of this free, community-powered event.

We’ve updated our sponsorship packet to reflect new opportunities and include beautiful photography from Brent Andeck, capturing the heart of last year’s event. Check it out to learn how you can make an impact.

We know not everyone is in a position to sponsor, and that’s okay—there are still so many ways to be involved! Whether you want to volunteer, spread the word, or donate in another way, we’d love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out to info@communityconnections.llc with any questions or ideas.

Thank you for being part of this journey. We truly couldn’t do it without you!
