The Jackson School Development program works to engage alumni, friends, corporations and foundations to become actively involved, through donations of time, talent and finances, with the Jackson School as we seek to become the preeminent geosciences program in the nation. Elements of the program include the Annual Fund, Alumni Affairs, Corporate and Foundation Relations and Major Gift fundraising.
The Geology Foundation, established in 1953, is the philanthropic arm of the Jackson School. Standing on this solid history, the Jackson School Development Program is proud to bring a comprehensive approach to resource development across the three units of the Jackson School.
