As a member of the SASA community, you may have heard whispers about our new and improved benefits for our supporters. As a non-profit organization, SASA is grateful for the support of our community who help us run our events and bring those already involved in the world of ancient studies together. Because of the continued generosity of our community we wanted to change our benefits to make sure we are giving back to our community.
Don’t worry! Existing members of the community who do not contribute financially are not going to lose out on the features you have gotten used to, the monthly newsletter and all educational levels will stay completely free and accessible to everyone.
To spice up the levels of support, we’re introducing ancient artisan giving levels. What does this mean? Well, each level that you are able to support, named after different artisanal bases, entitles you to different levels of benefits.
Here is the list of the new benefit tiers
Starting with our Wood Carvers, supporting $5-$9.99 a month, will have their names listed on our patrons list and gain access to the Wood Carver donor events.
The next tier is the Stone Hewers, supporting with $10-$14.99 a month, who will have their names listed on our patrons list and access to this tier’s donor events, a 5% discount on SASA’s merchandise and downloadable backgrounds at no extra cost.
Our third level is the Bronzesmiths, who give $15-$24.99 a month, who receive their names listed on our patrons list and access to the Bronze smith donor events, a 10% discount on SASA’s merchandise and downloadable backgrounds at no extra cost.
The fourth tier is the Ironsmiths, giving $25-$49.99 a month, who receive their names listed on our patrons list and access to all of the donor events, a 15% discount on SASA’s merchandise and downloadable backgrounds at no extra cost.
Next is the Silversmiths, supporting $50-$74.99 a month, who receive their names listed first on our patrons list and access to all of the donor events, a 15% discount on SASA’s merchandise, access to donor specific packages and a personalized thank you letter. They also receive exclusive access to Roundtable Discussions in which they can meet with our founder David Danzig to discuss thoughts and aspirations for Ancient Studies.
The final level of giving is the SASA League Member, who gives $75 onwards. Named after the historic Amphictyonic League formed by several Greek city-states sworn to protect the Delphic Oracle. In this giving level, you pledge to join SASA on its mission to protect Ancient Studies as an official league-member! You will receive a personalized letter of thanks from one of our leaders, firsthand access to all events, and the ability to work closely with our team in efforts to expand outreach. Your name and title at the top of the Patrons list on the Donation page. Also you’ll get access to a 20% discount on SASA merchandise and the donor packages in the Bazaar.
As a sneak peek of some of these awesome donor exclusives here’s a few examples of what we will be hosting. From a pictionary night to a scavenger hunt, headline or headlie to a tabletop RPG, SASA’s new exclusive events have something for everyone.
Whether you’re a donating SASA supporter or one of the valued members of our flourishing community who give their time to this cause, which has united us across the world, SASA would like to thank you for your ongoing support and hopes that you will continue to support us as we expand and are able to reach more people in our goal to make ancient studies accessible to all.
