Description
The Education and Professional Development (EAPD) Fund
The Education and Professional Development (EAPD) Fund, formerly known as the Anderson Fund, can pay for costs of short courses, costs for licensing, equipment expenses for educators, K-12 curriculum development and programming, college and university student research and conference expenses. As academic programs and departments are reorganized and geoscience becomes more diverse, outside funding to support geoscience education is becoming increasingly important. GSM has established a professionally managed endowment fund that will provide continual support for meaningful geoscience education in Maine, an important role that is not addressed adequately by national funding agencies.
Donations may also be made by check to the Geological Society of Maine and noting EAPD Fund on the memo line. Please mail it c/o Bruce E. Hunter, Treasurer, Geological Society of Maine, 44 Old Fairgrounds Rd, Readfield, ME 04355.
