    Greetings

    The Geoengineer.org Donors Fund solicits proposals for geo-projects that can make a valuable contribution to the geoengineering profession. Preference is given to projects that will make an impact internationally. Proposers should submit electronically all required documents as explained below. It is expected that the deliverable of the project will benefit the profession and become widely available to the Geoengineering community through Geoengineer.org.
