Decision makers and the public rely on climate assessments to help protect lives, property, and communities in a changing world. With federal science initiatives under threat, AMS and AGU are stepping up to ensure that science crucial to climate assessments always has a home. The U.S. Climate Collection publishes papers that inform assessments of climate risks and solutions across the United States. Your donation fuels this freely available, open-access resource, ensuring that vital science remains available to everyone, and that every author can contribute.

The AMS community—including scientists, educators, communicators, and policy-makers—is on the front lines of today’s most urgent global challenges. As federal support for research, forecasting, and science education faces growing uncertainty, your unrestricted donation becomes more essential than ever. By giving, you’re not only supporting our mission—you’re taking a leading role in advancing science and service when society needs it most.
Five new initiatives that will improve and expand AMS functionality, extend our reach and impact, and increase service to our members. Contributions to this fund will help support the following key initiatives:
Contribute to a special purpose of your choice: in memory of a loved one or colleague, to a specific initiative, or to anything you believe would advance our shared mission.
The AMS Annual Meeting is a valuable opportunity for students, early career professionals, educators, researchers, and practitioners to connect, collaborate, and grow within the weather, water, and climate community. For many individuals, however, the cost of attending meetings and conferences can create significant barriers to participation and limit access to valuable opportunities for learning, networking, and professional growth. Your support of the Investing in PEOPLE, Strengthening Our Community fund will help provide critical financial assistance to individuals who otherwise may not have the opportunity to attend the AMS Annual Meeting. Contributions to this fund will expand access to professional development, networking, mentorship, and scientific exchange while fostering a stronger and more connected community.
By investing in people, you are helping advance the future of the AMS and our sciences. Your gift helps ensure that individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and career stages can participate, contribute, and thrive. Your generosity is a direct investment in weather, water, and climate leaders, helping talented members of our community share their perspectives, build meaningful connections, and access opportunities that support their professional growth and future success. Together, we can strengthen our community and the future of the weather, water, and climate enterprise by making the AMS Annual Meeting more accessible to those who will shape the future of the atmospheric, oceanic, and related sciences.
Historically underrepresented, your contribution to the Women in Science Fund will support future generations of women entering the fields of atmospheric, oceanic, and climate sciences through scholarships, fellowships, and travel grants to AMS meetings.
The students of today are on the path to become the next generation of scientists, educators, and professionals in the public and private sectors. Your contribution will support these students at this crucial point in their journey, providing them with the opportunity to receive scholarships and fellowships, participate in AMS programs, and to travel to AMS Conferences and the Annual Meeting. Your student support gives them an invaluable experience to build on as they pursue their education.
In honor of Jarvis Moyers and his outstanding dedication to the sciences, a fund has been established to assist undergraduate students in the atmospheric and related sciences travel to the AMS Annual Meeting each year.
In honor and remembrance of AMS President Matthew J. Parker, the AMS Council and its Executive Committee have established The Matthew J. Parker Travel Fund. Matt was always eager to engage young members of the community in AMS activities so that they would have the best start possible for their career. In that spirit, your contribution will help provide travel grants to AMS meetings.
In remembrance of Marv Wesely and his concerted efforts to assist students in attending science-related conferences, this fund has been established to help undergraduate students interested in atmospheric chemistry and atmospheric science attend AMS symposia and conferences in those areas.
In memory of Bill’s outstanding contributions to the atmospheric sciences and his passion for supporting the next generation of leaders in the field, a fund has been established to support student participation at AMS conferences.
Your contributions to the AMS Education Program will help sustain our highly successful teacher professional development and college-level curriculum programs, which promote the teaching of weather, water, and climate science. All programs build greater diversity in geoscience disciplines and science teaching.
Policy choices have the greatest chance to benefit society when grounded in the best available knowledge and understanding. The AMS Policy Program helps the broader society understand and make use of scientific advancements relating to weather, water, and climate. Through these efforts, we help the nation, and the world, avoid risks and realize opportunities related to the Earth system.
Public interest and involvement in weather, water, and climate has never been more crucial than today. AMS recognizes that the work of our community of scientists, educators, students, and professionals should not be kept in a bubble. The public outreach efforts of AMS strive to bridge the information gap between our community and the public. Your contributions to AMS Public Outreach help sustain these efforts, fostering a greater understanding of the challenges facing society, and strengthening our ability to meet them.
Broadcast meteorologists play a vital role in its success and serve to bridge the gap between AMS and the general public. That's why attending the AMS Annual Meeting is so important for their professional development. Donate to this fund and provide an early career broadcaster an opportunity to expand their scientific knowledge and understanding.
