Since its establishment in 2002, Geoengineer.org's mission has been: "The advancement of International Geoengineering Practice and Research through the classification and integration of worldwide geoengineering information and the development of tools, resources and Professional activities.".

We believe that to have a real impact globally, our resources have to be readily available to the practitioners and researchers worldwide at no cost. The response of the visitors of Geoengineer.org has been overwhelming. More than 70,000 individuals visit our website each month and our monthly newsletter has more than 5,400 subscribed members.

The website's resources and activities grow continuously increasing the costs necessary to maintain and grow the website further.

Every year, we ask our visitors who have been benefiting from the website, to support us. Especially this year, with the challenges in the international economy, your support is more needed than ever. If you have been enjoying all the resources that we gladly provide to you at no cost, now is the time to give back. Make a donation, small or large.

These funds will be used to grow the resources and activities of the website further. In fact, all donors will vote and decide how the donations will be used. By making a donation, you join an active group of passionate geoengineers that with their donations and decisions will impact the practice, research and education of geoengineering globally.

Your donations are crucial to the success of Geoengineer.org. We will acknowledge your financial support in the next issues of the Geoengineer newsletter, and at the main page of Geoengineer.org for the next year as well as in the donors section of our Website.

If you are interested in supporting Geoengineer.org and participating in the 2008 Donor's Fund, please read carefully the instructions provided below.
