Programs
The Foundation proudly supports the endeavors of the world's largest professional geological society, AAPG. Although AAPG is a member driven organization, the Foundation is able, under its 501(c)(3) guidelines, to support AAPG's educational and scientific activities that benefit the geologic profession and are available to the general public.
AAPG's purpose is to foster scientific research, advance the science of geology, promote technology and inspire high professional conduct. The AAPG Foundation's programs and activities that support AAPG, directly and indirectly, are found below.
