Donating to the Paleontological Society
The Paleontological Society has many options for donating to support its mission of advancing knowledge and understanding of paleontology and life’s evolution through research, education, and advocacy, while supporting and championing a diversity of voices. All donations are tax deductible. You can contribute to:
- This IS PS!, which funds the Inclusive and Safe Paleontological Society (This IS PS), our diversity and inclusion initiative, including support for conference participation, increased financial assistance and mentorship for students from diverse backgrounds to attend their first GSA Annual Meeting, and engagement with campuses serving historically underrepresented students by expansion of the Distinguished Lecturer program.
