New Pledge to Meet Endowment Goals<\/a> | Donate Today<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Established December\u00a0 2017<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Proceeds from the Henry L. Gholz Endowment will provide support annually for SEEDS national Field Trips for 20 students from diverse backgrounds and interests to explore the science of ecology. Students will visit a Long-term Ecological Research Site (LTER), Biological Field Station or similar active field site honoring Henry\u2019s long-standing role in the National Science Foundation LTER program, and in exposing young scientists to field research.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The trips will offer students the opportunity to interact with scientists and professional ecologists in a field and laboratory setting. The funds will support the field trips as a whole, with students being selected through the usual application and review process. Most participants will be undergraduates, but graduate mentors may also be included.\u00a0 Read the original announcement here:\u00a0 December 8, 2017 EcoTone Blog: Announcing the Henry L. Gholz SEEDS Field Trips: An enduring endowment for diversity and discovery<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fund is to be established as an endowment in perpetuity and the principal invested by ESA accordingly. Only income earned from the principal will be used and additional contributions may be added to grow the endowment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All promotional information online and in print about the SEEDS national field trips will be named:\u00a0The Henry L. Gholz SEEDS Field Trip.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Goal<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
As of today, we have surpassed our initial goal of $400,000 allowing us to support annual field trips.\u00a0 A big thank you for the outpouring of support from our donors! Additional contributions will mean we can bring more students for these field experiences!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
