Contribute to SSA
The Seismological Society of America is a non-profit organization. Contributions are tax-deductible in the US. There are many ways to contribute to the work of SSA:
Contributions to the General Fund:
These funds help support SSA's new and ongoing programs. We keep the dues rate as low as possible and hope that those who can afford to pay more will make additional contributions.
Sponsorships at the SSA Annual Meeting:
Corporations or organizations can sponsor events at the SSA Annual meeting to help provide a top-notch program.
Student Travel Fund:
This fund provides means for students to travel to the SSA annual meeting.
Joyner Fund:
The William B. Joyner Memorial Fund was established to promote education and to improve the use of seismology in earthquake engineering. The fund honors Bill Joyner, a longtime SSA member, who died in 2001. In his distinguished career with the U.S. Geological Survey, Bill was particularly effective at bridging the gap between seismologists and engineers. More information is available on the Joyner Lecture pages. SSA, in cooperation with EERI, established the William B. Joyner Memorial Fund Lectures to be given at the Annual Meeting of each group. You can make an online contribution to the Joyner Fund (using your credit card) through SSA's secure web server.
Kanamori Fund:
This fund supports the professional development of students, seismologists and earthquake engineers.
Minority Participation Program:
This program is sponsored by the American Geological Institute (AGI) and provides scholarships for members of underrepresented minority groups to pursue studies in the geosciences. SSA members have supported this program with voluntary contributions since 1974. Click here to visit the program's homepage on the AGI website for further information.
