Imagine a new way to sniff out looted antiquities stolen from archaeological sites with the aid of working dogs.

Your tax deductible gift will fuel K-9 Artifact Finders and our other research into looted antiquities so that we can preserve cultural heritage for generations to come.

We welcome select volunteers dedicated to cultural property protection who possess demonstrated skills with fundraising, accounting, law, scientific research, archaeology, museum administration, security, compliance, statistics, government affairs, media, and more.

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit made up of legal, museum, law enforcement, art, and media professionals whose mission is to generate solutions to legal, political, and risk management problems affecting cultural heritage threatened by looting, trafficking, theft, vandalism, and war.
