The Donors' Fund

The Donors' Fund is a permanent fund; its income shall be used to promote and expedite research and publication of special reports. The Donors' Fund is managed and administered by six Trustees. The Trustees review requests for funding yearly and make recommendations to the Board of Directors for approval. The grants for funding are issued from the revenues of interest accrued on the Donors' Fund.

The Guidelines provide the instructions for requesting a grant from the Donors' Fund. The History documents how grant money has been used in the past.

Mott and Beth Ogden Davis.  The Endowment Fund is a restricted fund with an invested principal.  The interest is available to support TAS at the discretion of the TAS Board of Directors.  Contributions are tax deductible and welcome at any time.  Please note the specific fund to which you are contributing.
