• Strengthening their ties to the world’s premier Native Engineers, Scientists, and Technologists.
• Supporting and accessing a pool of highly qualified Native professionals
• Expanding their consulting base of Native experts in numerous fields
• Setting an example in the community, thereby enhancing their public image
• Supporting and encouraging philanthropy among their employees

• Minimum gift of 100,000 to establish a named, endowed fund.
• Annual Giving
• Gifts of any size can currently be made by phone, fax, mail, electronic funds transfer or wire transfer. AISES will soon have the capability to accept your donation online.

What is the relationship between annual giving and endowment giving? Endowment gifts and annual gifts are independent but complementary components of AISES support. Each is an integral part of ensuring a secure foundation for AISES continuing commitment to excellence in educational program development and implementation.

For example, by increasing annual giving to The AISES FOUNDATION and by raising new endowed monies, AISES can continue to fulfill its long-standing commitment to educational programs, leadership, career, and teacher training, curriculum development, scholarships, internships, and reduce its heavy reliance on funds secured only on a year by year bases.
