From all of us at ESA, we are grateful for the wonderful generosity of so many in our community. Your contributions have helped build an enduring foundation for the SEEDS – Strategies for Ecology Education, Diversity and Sustainability – program to support a national field trip for 20 undergraduate students.
The Henry L. Gholz SEEDS National Field Trip Endowment was established in 2017 and since then has raised $441,222 from 626 donors. This completes our initial target of $400,000 and we plan to continue accepting gifts. Please consider the endowment in your future giving plans.
So many of you have left us your thoughtful and encouraging notes on why you gave, what SEEDS means to you and how much Dr. Henry L. Gholz had been a part of your lives. Be inspired by this gallery of tributes to Dr. Gholz and the SEEDS program.
