Tribute Gifts
A tribute gift to the AIChE Foundation for a loved one, family member or colleague can honor that person’s life and/or memory while making a lasting contribution to the future of the profession.
To make a tribute donation, please visit our donation page.
Stock Gifts
A gift of stock is a great way to help support AIChE, and it may allow you to realize tax benefits while receiving a charitable contribution deduction.
Contact Natalie Krauser for more information.
Endowment Gifts
Endowment gifts make a significant impact because they offer financial stability and ensure long-term funding to support and maintain AIChE priorities and programs.
A bequest or gift to the Endowment Fund is money that is invested on a permanent basis and not spent directly. Based on earnings and growth of the Fund, a conservative percentage of the fund is withdrawn each year to support programs so the fund will last in perpetuity. Donors can also specify spending instructions for designated funds.
Dues Renewal Gifts
AIChE members can make charitable contributions through their annual AIChE dues renewal. As a member, when you renew your membership, either online or by mail, you support communities including MAC and WIC, programs to engage student members or provide funding where the need is greatest (Annual Fund).
Monthly Giving Helps Donors Make a Big Impact
Mario and Leeja Eden wanted to make a significant impact and ensure the anonymous $10,000 Summer School Endowment challenge was achieved. They chose to leverage monthly giving to achieve a big impact and support an early-career ChE faculty member.
Planning Your Legacy Supports Future Generations
The AIChE® Foundation is deeply humbled by the generous donors of the AIChE Legacy Society, who took the special step of including AIChE in their long-term plans.
