The ARAM Society is financed primarily by benefactors whose regular or occasional donations are used towards the Society's expenses. However, there is always a shortfall, especially now that we have to cover the expenses of two branches, in Oxford and in Harvard. ARAM would appeal to all supporters of its aims to provide financial and moral assistance, in order to enable it to continue its cultural mission.

This mission is making daily progress throughout the world, and naturally entails an increase in expenditure. We are ready to provide any person who is interested in helping ARAM with a detailed report of our expenditures and financial needs. ARAM is establishing a tradition whereby its projects are linked with the names of their benefactors. For example, the Centre which we aim to buy for the ARAM Society in Oxford or in Harvard will be named after its benefactor(s) in order to show that ARAM is a gift from its friends to the world of culture. Therefore, those who wish to help ARAM are invited to join the Board of Patrons which aims to support ARAM financially and morally in its cultural mission.

Patrons are welcome from anywhere in the world; they are patrons of ARAM Society as a whole, not of one branch in particular. Membership of the Board of Patrons is held for each calendar year and extended with the agreement of both the benefactor and the Central Committee of ARAM.

The Board meets officially once a year, on the inaugural day of the annual conference, either in Oxford or in Harvard. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the accounts and the Board's contribution to the financial needs of ARAM for the coming year. The minimum cost of membership is $200 per month or $2400 annually. Members of the Board of Patrons are honorary members of the Fellowship of ARAM, and the Central Committee of the Society will maintain regular contacts with every member in order to inform them about the activities of ARAM and the ways in which money is used to finance ARAM projects.
