Foundation Aims to Double MSVP Fund

摘要

The AAPG Foundation was established in 1966 to support programs that benefit the geological profession and the general public. Its purpose is to encourage a better understanding and advancement of the geosciences - and to establish programs and fund projects that support the education, training and career enhancement of earth scientists. From a modest gift of oil company stock, Foundation assets have increased through the years to today's value of almost $50 million. With growth in assets has come an increased need to expand existing programs deemed to be in the public interest, as well as the opportunity to provide financial aid to additional projects suggested by AAPG members or others.
