Double your Impact and Celebrate 30 Years of the Geo-Institute!

The Geo-Institute’s 30th anniversary is here, and we’re starting the celebration with an extraordinary opportunity you can't miss. Every gift to the G-I Student Endowment Fund will be matched 1:1—up to $25,000—through December 31.

Launched in October 2024, the G-I Student Endowment Fund funds the Geo Institute's commitment to sustain student programs in perpetuity. This fund builds on the incredible foundation of the Briaud Students Fund (BSF)—a $1 million endowment that directs 50% of its earnings to G-I student activities. Your gift accelerates the impact of BSF and helps us create a lasting legacy for future geo-professionals.

Your support provides students with:

• Access to Geo-Congress and specialty conferences
• Opportunities to compete regionally and nationally
• Connections with industry leaders and real-world experience

Your gift to the Geo-Institute Student Participation Fund goes twice as far during this special $25,000 matching opportunity. Don’t miss your opportunity ring in the 30th Anniversary of the Geo-Institute with double the impact!
