Legacy Members and Major Donors

Legacy Founding Members of The Civita Institute

In 2008, the Board of Directors of NIAUSI announced its intention to adopt the dba The Civita Institute. This new name satisfied a requirement of the property transfer Agreement signed in 2007 by Astra Zarina, Tony Heywood, and the Board of Directors. To raise revenue for payment of taxes for the eventual property transfer in Italy, a membership program was initiated with levels ranging from $75 to $500. Donors of $5,000 would become Legacy Founding Members of The Civita Institute and receive lifetime membership. The Legacy Founding Members are:

Astra Zarina and Tony Heywood
Steven Holl
Heide and Kurt Buchwald
Kari Kimura and Shaun Roth
Mark and Ann Drexler
Nancy Josephson and Stephen Day.

Member Donors

The Civita Institute is grateful for the many members and their membership donations it has received since 2008. Each member, regardless of membership level, contributes to the preservation, maintenance, and housekeeping of our historic facilities in Civita di Bagnoregio. Over these many years, with nearly a thousand membership donations having been received, it no longer feasible to list each member by name but each and every member is very much appreciated.
