Prominent Greek and Roman philanthropists were adept at converting their gifts of time and money into potent symbols of communal strength and solidarity, regularly paying for dramatic festivals and public buildings.
For nearly one hundred and thirty years, SBL members have also regularly given their time and money to support each other as they critically study the scriptures and foster biblical scholarship.
As we move into the coming years, what will be our legacy?

Employer Matching Gift Programs
Thousands of companies and corporate foundations match the gifts of their employees to non-profit institutions like SBL. Gifts of securities, in addition to gifts of cash, are also often eligible for matching.
Matching gift benefits can double, sometimes triple, the value of your gift. Retirees, employee spouses, board members and officers are also included in some programs, so inquire about eligibility with your company as well as your spouses company.
If your company has a matching gift program, request a matching gift form from your employer, and send it completed and signed with your gift. We will do the rest. Matching gift forms are most frequently found in Human Resources, but are increasingly available on company intranet sites or other online formats.
If you have already sent your gift, it may not be too late to qualify for matching dollars this year. Send a completed form to:
