GIVING AT SBL
For over one hundred and thirty-five years, SBL members have regularly given their time and money to support each other as they study the Bible, the world out of which it emerged, and the many contexts of biblical interpretation. 
 
WAYS TO GIVE
  
GIVE to the Society Fund
The Society Fund supports the unrestricted work of SBL.

GIVE to SBL's Programs, Services and Scholarships:
  • Bible Odyssey invites the general public to chart a journey through the social, historical, and literary richness of the best-selling, best-known book of all time.

  • International Cooperation Initiative provides free online PDF files of SBL publications, as well as partnering publishers, to scholars and students who would not otherwise have access to this scholarship.

  • The David Noel Freedman Scholarship Award for Excellence and Creativity in Biblical Scholarship encourages the finest scholarship in biblical studies.

  • The Paul J. Achtemeier Award for New Testament Scholarship stimulates the finest and most penetrating work in New Testament studies.

  • The Richards Fund for the Bible in the Public Square The purpose of this fund is to support the discussion of the way sacred texts, and especially the Bible, play a role in and intersect with the public square. This fund supports programs that bring people and institutions together to unravel the past relationships of sacred texts and public policies and envision new ways to shape this lively intersection.

  • International Travel Awards offer opportunities to current SBL members outside North America to attend the Annual or International Meeting, to participate in the program, to enhance their professional development, and to build their network with fellow scholars.

  • The Daniel Tran Foskett Hudgins Memorial Student Travel Award  is named in memory of Daniel Tran Foskett Hudgins, the beloved son of SBL member Mary Foskett and Scott Hudgins. In late 2021, Daniel was diagnosed with a devastating cancer. He died on 1 March 2022, at the age 21. His brief but beautiful life was characterized by love and service.

  • The Bernadette J. Brooten Award supports and encourages early career researchers developing innovative approaches to the critical study of gender, sexuality, and/or embodiment in relation to biblical texts and traditions (broadly cast), especially with projects that foreground feminist, womanist, queer, and, or, as trans approaches.
