The <strong>FIG</strong> Foundation —<br />
building a sustainable future<br />
The <strong>FIG</strong> Foundation is an independent body under the<br />
Inter-national Federation of Surveyors. The purpose of the<br />
Foundation is the funding of educational and capacity<br />
building projects and scholarships. Throughout the 120<br />
years of its existence, <strong>FIG</strong> has experienced a shortage of<br />
funds to finance educational projects, even though<br />
education is vital to the surveying profession and is relevant<br />
to all members of <strong>FIG</strong>.<br />
Specifically, the objects for which the Foundation is<br />
established are:<br />
• To give grants and scholarships to projects, for instance<br />
to develop curricula for surveying education and capacity<br />
building, especially in developing countries;<br />
• To promote high standards of education and training for<br />
surveyors and to facilitate continuing professional<br />
development;<br />
• To educate people in the disciplines of surveying,<br />
particularly in developing countries and countries in<br />
transition;<br />
• To promote virtual academies and the use of distance<br />
learning in surveying education;<br />
• To support by seed funding conferences and similar<br />
events in co-operation with international agencies such<br />
as the United Nations.<br />
You are invited to make a contribution to the valuable work<br />
of the <strong>FIG</strong> Foundation in conjunction with the <strong>FIG</strong> Congress<br />
2002 by either:<br />
• making a voluntary donation — US$ 25, 50 or 100 — to<br />
the Foundation when registering for the Congress — just<br />
drop off a check at the registration counters or<br />
• by attending the <strong>FIG</strong> Foundation Dinner to be held on<br />
Monday 22 April 2002 — tickets US$150. Jack<br />
Dangermond, President and Founder of ESRI, has<br />
graciously agreed to be the Honorary Chairman of the<br />
<strong>FIG</strong> Foundation fundraising campaign and will be the<br />
featured speaker at the dinner.<br />
