Each year, thousands of people benefit from programs supported by the AAPG Foundation – but this year, thanks to its involvement with the Venture Lab initiative, that number may soar to incalculable numbers. Venture Lab is a program started last year with AAPG Foundation support by the AAPG Sustainable Development Committee to specifically assist and manage its annual Sustainable Development in Energy Competition.

Talk about seeing the fruits of your labor – fast! Recent hard work by the AAPG Foundation produced tangible results in a very short time this spring, with students and geoscience professionals around the world benefiting from the efforts.

The AAPG Foundation has a host of goals and geoscience projects on its agenda for the coming year, eyeing support of projects that are as different as they are ambitious – but in all cases, there’s a common thread. The Foundation wants 2025 to be the year of impact.

The leadership team for the AAPG Foundation is set for the coming year, and these folks are eager and dedicated to making a significant impact this year in the world of geosciences. “We’re excited about the coming year, and we’re all inspired by an overwhelming desire to make a difference in the lives of geoscience students, professionals and the public,” said Foundation Chair Jim McGhay, “both today and tomorrow.”

Trustees for the AAPG Foundation recently agreed to a number of proposals. Approving these proposals during the Trustees recent meeting is big news in itself – but wait … there’s more. The AAPG Foundation Trustees are eager to do even more with the gifts that they generously receive throughout the year. What they’d like to have are even more proposals to consider.
