The Meteoritical Society's purpose is 'to promote the study of extraterrestrial materials.' Besides the publications, the annual scientific meetings, and the awards sponsored by the Society, there are other ways to further that goal. The Meteoritical Society has built an Endowment Fund, with the purpose of supporting one-time activities that do not fall in any of those categories. These have included work on preserving the history of the advance of the study of extraterrestrial materials and a variety of outreach activities of various kinds. A basic introduction to the Endowment, and information on how to contribute, is given here. A list of guidelines for requesting funds from the Endowment for outreach activities is also available. Any other ideas that members have for ways to use the Endowment to further the primary purpose of the Meteoritical Society will be considered.
