I (we) wish the donation to be used for:

General support for NESTA's activities - to be used at the discretion of NESTA. This critical unrestricted support, which we can use where NESTA needs help most, can cover all needs, including those identified below, as well as costs for other NESTA expenses such as copying and printing, conference calls of the Executive committee and Board, meeting travel, new member packets, and mailing costs.

Development of a fund to support NESTA teacher members to attend Earth and Space Science associated professional development or field conferences, with the requirement that recipients contribute to back to NESTA in some way, through an article, presentation, or other service. This support will be offered through a need-based application process once the fund reaches $5000.

Support for classroom materials grants for NESTA teacher members for Earth and Space Science educational resources and classroom tools. This support will be offered through a need-based application process once the fund reaches $5000.

Support for publication and mailing costs associated with NESTA's journal, The Earth Scientist.

Support for NESTA E-memberships for newly graduating Earth science teachers. Each E-membership costs $10/year, and your donation of $50 could provide 5 new teachers with membership in NESTA! As a special bonus, donors sponsoring membership of five or more new Earth Science teachers will have the option to receive an honorary 1-year membership in NESTA, and their choice of a print or online copy of The Earth Scientist.

Support for NESTA's events at the NSTA National meeting, this coming year, in Philadelphia. Each year, net costs associated with this meeting, where NESTA typically offers 14 events, come to ~$5000 annually, after taking into account income from our Rock and Mineral Raffle, and sales of tickets for our Field Trip and NESTA Breakfasts. See http://www.nestanet.org/cms/content/conferences for a partial list of the events we offer at the NSTA National conference. Your generous donation will help us cover these costs, and avoid raising membership dues.

Support for the transition of state-based Earth science teacher associations (ESTA's) to adopt the new NESTA website toolkit.

Other (optional) - please stipulate how you or your company wishes the donation to be used:
