Member Memorial Endowment Fund
The Western Section established a memorial endowment fund in 2007. The goal of the fund is to accumulate a core of principal that will not be depleted. Interest generated from the fund will be used to support the Section’s education, outreach, and scholarship programs. The memorial endowment fund principal receives funds from all bequests, life membership dues, and donations specifically made for the fund. The Endowment Fund was established with a bequest from the estate of Section member Douglas Donaldson, and has since received funds in the name of members Thomas A. Roberts and John K. Konecny.
Please consider adding to the memorial endowment fund by donating, planned giving, or becoming a Lifetime Member of the Section. Donations to the fund are tax-deductible. Lifetime memberships may be paid in up to three installments.
If you are a wildlife student or early career professional in need of financial assistance, consider applying for one of the various grants or scholarships made possible by the Western Section TWS Memorial Endowment.
