​​​APS Foundation

Donations to the APS Foundation general and established funds provide funding support to APS members and help underwrite special initiatives, programs, and projects in plant pathology that align with the overall​ mission and strategic goals of APS.​ 

Giving Creates Possibilities

​Your donation will create opportunities for future leaders of APS (graduate students and early-career plant pathologists) to become actively involved and engaged in the society through participation in our annual meetings; member involvement in APS priorities, such as engagement of underrepresented minorities in plant pathology​, mentoring, innovative teaching, and international programs; and opportunities for members to connect throughout the discipline and enhance their professional experience. ​

Funding Opportunities and Awardees

Thanks to donations received from our members, a variety of funding opportunities are available to students and early-career professional members of APS. Numerous funds help support travel, research, education, professional development and mentoring ​programs, or other initiatives that advance​ the study and practice of plant pathology.​
