Donor Benefits and Recognition

A Donor can designate a particular discipline or cluster of disciplines, such as Mining Geophysics, for his or her donations. Substantial gifts can also be assigned to a designated "envelope" within the overall foundation endowment in recognition of a particular individual or institution. Endowed scholarships can be named in honour of a particular geophysicist or company.

Besides the obvious tax benefits*, all contributions will be acknowledged in the regular communications of the KEGS Foundation as well as at special events which KEGS may hold in conjunction with the Foundation.

Thanks to the substantial generosity of many donors, the KEGS Foundation has established a number of endowed scholarship funds to celebrate and honour notable Canadian geophysicists and their contributions to advancing exploration geophysics. The principal endowed scholarship funds currently administered by the KEGS Foundation are:

• WAMIC Geophysics Scholarship, originally established by the Women's Association of Mining in Canada (WAMIC) and now administered by the KEGS Foundation, is directed at supporting a fourth year student in geophysics with a superior academic record."

• The KEGS Pioneers Scholarship Fund, established in 2003 to honour various notable exploration geophysicists associated with KEGS*;

• The BCGS Scholarship Fund, established in 2005 to support geophysical education in B.C. via generous donations by the B.C. Geophysical Society;

• Fugro Scholarship, established in 2008 by a very generous multi-year gift by Fugro Airborne Surveys (Canada) with the objective of fostering advances in airborne survey methods;

• The GSC Pioneers Scholarship Fund, established following Exploration 07 to honour the many advances and accomplishments of GSC geophysicists;

• The Limion Scholarship Fund, established in 2000 in honour of noted consulting geophysicist Heikki Limion.

In addition to donations to the Foundation utilized for current scholarships, donations and bequests may be directed to any of the above endowed funds, and indicated to be on behalf of a particular individual.
