Giving Opportunities

Epsilon Fund

Income from this fund supports the Young Scholars Program, which provides grants to summer programs for mathematically talented high school students.

General Fund

Unrestricted gifts may be used in a variety of ways to support all of the programs of the Society. For example, these funds directly or indirectly support publishing journals, Mathematical Reviews�, summer conferences, and meetings. Learn more about AMS Programs and Services.

Centennial Fellowship Fund

Centennial Fellowships are awarded annually to outstanding mathematicians three to twelve years past their Ph.D. This fund is a temporarily restricted fund.

Endowments

An endowment is a permanent fund, sometimes named for the donor(s) or other individual(s). Endowment funds support a particular purpose or program. The fixed portion (gift principal) is invested and the earnings are used for the designated purpose or program. Sometimes, a donor may designate that the principal of the gift be held in perpetuity and the income be used as the Society sees fit (i.e., the income is unrestricted). The Society manages endowments using the "total return concept". This provides for a more predictable stream of income and for growth of principal over the long term. Please contact the Development Office if you are considering such a gift.

Gifts In Memory Of or In Honor Of

Gifts may be made in memory of or in honor of friends, colleagues, family members, or other individuals. Such gifts can be made for the general support of AMS programs (General Fund) or the donor may direct the gift for a specific program, such as the Epsilon Fund. Gifts in Memory and Gifts in Honor are listed in the annual report on contributions published in the Notices of the AMS. Reports in the Notices become part of the permanent archive of the American Mathematical Society. The most recent report may be found every year in the May issue of the Notices of the AMS.
