EEGS FOUNDATION

The EEGS Foundation was organized in 2008 to support the growth and awareness of near surface geophysics in North America and throughout the world. Two special funds have been organized for individual members, and one for corporate sponsors to kick off the Foundation. Contributions can also be made for specific applications of projects. The EEGS Foundation has applied to the Internal Revenue Service for 5013C tax-free status, and is awaiting confirmation, for the benefit of our U.S. membership. Contact a Foundation Board member for details (see www.eegsfoundation.org).

Suggested Donation Amounts:
$50 for Individual Memberships
$2,500 for Corporate Memberships

President's Message:

Dear Friends of EEGS,
As you know, the Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society (EEGS) is a world-leading professional organization dedicated to advancing geophysical solutions to near-surface environmental and engineering challenges. For more than three decades, our collaboration with the Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems (SAGEEP) has provided a pioneering educational, development, and networking platform, with lasting impact on the profession.

Since 2003, EEGS has sought financial support for the SAGEEP conference. In 2007, the EEGS Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, was established to expand our ability to fund both domestic and international programs. With the growing demand for our services and initiatives, we now rely more than ever on the generosity of our community. Some of the Foundation’s key programs include:

• Financial Support for EEGS and SAGEEP
• Student Scholarships (established in 2022)
• Travel Grants for Students and Professors
• Distinguished Regional Lecture Tours
• Sponsorship for International Conferences and Training Seminars

These programs are central to EEGS’s mission, and we count on the continued support of professionals like you to maintain and grow them. As a member of this remarkable network of geophysicists, many of us owe much of our careers and successes to EEGS and the community it fosters.
We ask that you consider a financial contribution to the EEGS Foundation. Your donation directly supports these vital programs and sustains the work that has benefited so many. Whether large or small, your support makes a significant impact in advancing near-surface geophysics. We also welcome any suggestions you may have for how Foundation funds should be utilized or potential new donors to approach.

To make a donation, please choose one of the following options:

1. By Check: Mail to EEGS Foundation, 391 Speer Blvd., Suite 450, Denver, CO 80204.
2. By Credit Card: Call our office at 303.531.7517 to make a donation or visit our website at EEGS Foundation Donations.

We are deeply grateful for the support we have received over the years, and we sincerely hope you will continue to support the EEGS Foundation with a contribution this year.

Thank you for your partnership.

Sincerely,
Doug Laymon
