Why donate to SALVI?
Because together we’re doing the work to effectively support Latin teachers, Latin students, and the Living Latin Movement. We are a certified 501(c)(3) non-profit organization entirely run by volunteers. That means 100% of your donation goes directly to the operational costs of delivering high-quality professional development for the benefit of Latin teachers, Latin students, and “Latin lovers.” Please consider making a one-time donation, or join the President’s Initiative with a monthly contribution to increase your impact.
Gifts given to SALVI are put to use in three areas:
- to pay for program expenses not covered by tuition and general administrative costs of our all-volunteer organization.
- to increase the principal of the Amy High Foundation, with the goal of offering additional scholarships each year.
- to develop future programs and new locations as well as a permanent, fully-staffed SALVI home where Latinists can live and study together throughout the year.
SALVI is officially registered with the IRS and other administrative organizations as the North American Institute for Living Latin Studies.
SALVI is a qualified 501(c)(3) charitable entity:

Here’s what alumni of our programs say:
- “The amount one learns in a single week here is immeasurable. The teachers and participants are extremely encouraging and patient.”
- “There is no professional development more useful to teachers of Latin. The experience is profound and superlatively useful and applicable.”
- “It is wonderful to have [a teacher] who not only speaks such amazing Latin but is also first and foremost a gifted teacher/leader/mentor. I now have a lot of new ideas for making my classes more varied – I saw so many new activities that I can adapt for my own purposes.”
- “An unforgettable experience which put me in the shoes of my students and really made Latin a part of me. It truly made Latin click and brought it to life. [SALVI is] filled with inspiration, love, friendship, and learning.”
- Or perhaps most eloquently: “Locus amoenissimus in quo Latinitas renascitur crescitque.”
