Support APS

You can have a positive impact on the lives of people — researchers, educators, students and the general public — benefitting from APS programs. The Society’s membership dues are applied only to the cost of member services, and APS programs rely in great part on donations from generous individuals like you.

Your gift of any amount will make a difference in advancing and diffusing the knowledge of physics, and is greatly appreciated by the Society.

Donate to the Unrestricted Program Fund to support APS programs where the need is greatest or specify a campaign or program.
