Support EAPS

By unlocking the mysteries of the natural world, EAPS faculty, researchers, and students are discovering answers to questions that pique the imagination and solutions to problems with important societal implications. Support these brilliant and creative minds with a gift to EAPS. In the face of uncertain federal research funding and increased competition for talent among our peers, your contribution will help us maintain our leadership in the geosciences. Fundraising priorities are fellowship support for graduate students and discretionary funding, used to seize opportunities and to address pressing needs.

For more information on making a gift, please contact Dawn Adelson at dadelson at mit.edu or 617.253.0593. You may also make a gift by going directly to our website at http://eapsweb.mit.edu/alumni/giving.
