Amarna is under immediate threat from urban and agricultural growth. As we work with the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities on conservation, outreach and research initiatives, we invite you to join our international community of supporters to ensure the long-term survival of this unique heritage site.
Our Giving Circles
You can be a part of something extraordinary by joining one of our giving circles.
£10
OR MORE PER MONTH
The Akhetaten Circle
The Akhetaten Circle brings supporters together to share in our work. To join, we ask you to consider a gift of £10 per month (or greater). In appreciation of this gift, you will receive a donor pin, be included in our annual donor list and be invited to a special annual event. The Akhetaten Circle is proof that great things can happen when people come together to support a passion. If you are a UK tax-payer, the Trust can claim back the basic rate tax already paid on donations by the donor.
To join the Akhetaten Circle, please visit our Justgiving page and choose ‘Donate’ at the top right, then on the next page choose ‘Monthly’ and then £10 or greater. The entirety of your gift will support our Annual Fund.

Or by making a single gift
Every gift, large or small, makes an immediate difference to what we achieve at Amarna. Gift-aid forms are available from the treasurer.
Gift Aid on United Kingdom donations
The Trust is able to benefit from the present UK tax legislation by reclaiming tax on donations from UK tax-payers under the Gift Aid scheme, which increases the value of the gift by nearly a third (there are further tax advantages for donors who pay at higher rates).
Our current third-party fund-raising channel administers the Gift Aid scheme on behalf of the Amarna Trust.
United States of America donations
For residents of the USA, tax-efficient gifts can be made through Cambridge in America, a registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organisation. Cambridge in America makes grants directly to the Amarna Trust. To make a donation through them, please visit www.cantab.org and complete the following steps:
