CREATING PARTNERSHIPS
As programmatic and research funding becomes more difficult to
obtain, the entire geoscience community must work cooperatively
on major projects and coordinate efforts to seek funding for them,
rather than competing for the same shrinking dollar base.
The realities of our rapidly changing profession require professional
societies to recognize and adapt to the altered needs of their members
by becoming a “home base” for their professional development,
training, and affiliation. Change is inevitable, and AGI will play
a pivotal role in providing relevant services that strengthen the
member societies and geoscience community in today’s world
and the future.
Working closely with the American
Geological Institute, the AGI Foundation identifies specific
programs for financial support. Special gifting and endowment programs
complement our programmatic fund-raising efforts. Individual and
organizational gifts to the AGI Foundation will help ensure the
long-term stability of the Institute and the success and effectiveness
of its programs. These priorities reflect the Trustees’ commitment
to creating a prosperous future for the geoscience community, built
on the successes of the past and the initiatives of the present.
