Development Activities
Estate Planning
The Development Office is pleased to discuss planned giving opportunities including remembering APS in estate plans.
Fellow Receptions
Fellow receptions, to recognize our fellow members and share with them information about APS programs and initiatives, were held in Caltech, Philadelphia and Santa Fe during 2011 and Atlanta and Chicago in 2012. Development produced displays with highlights of APS programs for use at these and other APS meetings which are extremely popular.
Soliciting Donor Gifts
Annual giving is solicited as part of membership renewals and a yearend mailing which provides key support to the Society's education and diversity, public affairs, and international programs with public outreach being added as a new designation option for members making an annual gift.
New APS Initiatives
As new programs evolve the Development Department coordinates fundraising for these activities as well.
