AAVSO Funds
The following is a list of the specific funds to which you may contribute. If you do not wish to specify how you would like your donation to be used, the AAVSO will determine the fund where it is needed most and place it there.
Endowment Fund
The corpus of these funds are permanently restricted, income, capital gains and losses (realized and unrealized) are considered unrestricted income usable toward the operation of the organization.
Charitable contributions to the American Association of Variable Star Observers can have benefits that last a lifetime - and beyond. A bequest or life-income gift that includes the Association will support variable star research and education for generations to come. Your legacy can be made in a variety of ways that can have dramatic tax and financial rewards for donors.
The American Association of Variable Star Observers is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit scientific and educational organization. As such, we depend on the financial support of our members, benefactors, friends, foundations and corporate partners to continue our scientific and educational programs.
We extend our heart-felt appreciation to all of the benefactors of the AAVSO. THANK YOU!
