Benefits

Become a Member

Membership in FOAA is a (tax-deductible!) investment in archaeology. Purchase your annual membership through The Alexandria Shop*, or mail a check to “Friends of Alexandria Archaeology”: FOAA, 105 North Union Street, Alexandria, VA 22314. If you prefer to make a tax-deductible donation to FOAA instead of, or in addition to, becoming a member, you may do so via FOAA’s Stripe donation form.

* Purchases of FOAA memberships are administered through the City of Alexandria’s “Shop” site to enable application of the 15% museum shop merchandise discount, a FOAA membership benefit. All proceeds from membership purchases go to FOAA.

  • Museum and outreach education for all ages

  • Raising awareness of Alexandria’s archaeological resources at community events like the George Washington Birthday Parade and Farmers’ Markets
