| The
Geiss Foundation relies completely on private funding.
We are most grateful to Mrs Jeanette D. 
for making a most generous initial contribution in 2002
to start and finance current Geiss Foundation activities.
We mourn the loss of Mrs ,
who passed away in December 2003.
Funding
for research projects, grants and fellowships will need
additional gifts from private sources. We hope to
attract contributions through several means:
|
Memberships |
Individual
membership will cost $75.- a year; members joining
during our semi-annual fund drives will also receive
a valuable, original artifact as a thank-you gift
in the mail. The first Membership Fund Drive
will be March 2005. |
|
Fund
Drives |
Starting
March 2005, the Geiss Foundation will launch fund
drives twice a year through our website and by mail
to solicit contributions. We will offer
different types of gifts to thank our supporters. |
