The Robert L Stigler Jr Memorial Fund focuses tightly on supporting academic anthropology, funding university-based research and visiting lectureships rather than community services or broad charitable causes. Nearly all grants support anthropology scholarship at higher-education institutions, with repeat grants to the University of Arkansas and selective support for Columbia University research projects.
Small, concentrated portfolio with repeated multi-year support to a few academic institutions; grants are focused and programmatic (research and lectureships) rather than broadly distributed.
