CONTRIBUTORS AND BENEFACTORS

摘要

Many members contribute to MSA by including a contribution with their annual dues and/or by responding to special appeals. Depending on the wishes of the member, the money is deposited with the principal of the MSA Endowment, MSA Outreach, MSA Mineralogy/Petrology, Edward H. Kraus Crystallographic Research, Bloss, or General Operating Funds. The income of these funds is used to support MSA's research grants in crystallography, mineralogy, and petrology; publishing of the American Mineralogist; the MSA Undergraduate Prizes; the Mineralogical Society of America Award; the Distinguished Public Service Award; the Dana Medal; the Roebling Medal; the website; and the lectureship program. If you have not done so previously, you may wish to consider contributing at the next opportunity. Here we want to extend our gratitude to the individuals and organizations that have made contributions to MSA between 1 July 2013 and 30 June 2014. These contributors are listed on the MSA website and can be found by selecting "Contributions to MSA" on the MSA home page, under "The Society."
