APRIL 2003 • No 53 SEG NEWSLETTER 7 FOUNDATION Foundation Reviews 2002 The Foundation’s financial figures for 2002 are available. Last year SEGF contributed $281,370 to the SEG to help finance programs, activities, and Society operating expenses. This amounts to a contribution to SEG of $76 on behalf of every member. Seventy percent of these funds went to support programs such as Student Research Grants ($66,000), Student Membership Fees ($31,500), and Student Chapter Support ($9,800). Student programs receive a large part of our support, but other popular programs funded by SEGF are the SEG Newsletter ($25,000), Regional VP activities, and lecture or speaker travel support ($43,500). Foundation contributed $84,600 to support operating expenses of the Society. Besides administration expenses, this amount includes portfolio management fees and taxes. Student Research Grants continue to be one of the Society’s most popular progrms. Students apply for grants, prepare a research expense budget, and justify scientific basis for their request. The grant each student receives is theirs to spend, as required, to help achieve his or her research goals. The student controls expenditure of the funds and this provides flexibility that is rare in these days of limited research budgets and carefully controlled large grants at universities. Amounts of individual research grants are not large, but the funds can and do make an important impact on a research project. Your Foundation’s support for students is an investment in the future of our profession as students are potential leaders of future mineral resource development. The Foundation is proud to support this activity. The Foundation will actively solicit donations to the Hugo Dummett Discovery Fund this year. Funds received will be used to support research and educational activities whose objectives are the improved integration of economic, social and cultural issues with the science of economic geology. Use of the funds in this manner is consistent with wishes of the Dummett family, and with the dedicated interests and objectives of the late Hugo Dummett. We hope the fund will help develop leaders in the application of technology to the wise, acceptable and sustainable development of the world’s natural resources. Finally, it is very important that I acknowledge the generosity of hundreds of SEG members throughout the world. These members understand that RICHARD L. NIELSEN SEG Foundation President financial support for the Foundation is an investment in the future of our profession. Further, this support continues to make membership in the Society of Economic Geologists a great bargain. Gifts to the SEG Foundation were received in 2002 from about 300 individual members and amounted to $59,602. Gifts to the SEG Canada Foundation were about $10,000 CDN, and research grants of $13,000 CDN were awarded to Canadian students. Increasingly, financial support to the Foundation is being received from outside the United States and this reflects increased global support for economic geology by the Society. 1 Ore and Thin Section PETROGRAPHY Members Partnering for low cost rapid results Advisors G.E.
