Greetings!
The AAPG Association and Foundation rely on the generosity of its members and their
companies. That generosity deserves recognition, demands results, and is the basis of
AAPGs corporate financial partnership campaign.
It is a joint effort between geoscientists and industry to increase knowledge of
geoscience and technology to find energy. In 2006, a few members of AAPG embarked
on a mission to provide financial support for AAPGs programs well into the future
Meeting Challenges, Assuring Success. Since that time, we have raised over $28 million
toward a $35 million goal. More than ninety percent has been raised from individual
members; especially from AAPGs leadership.
The members of AAPG have spoken with their financial support. Now we ask our industry
to be the closer and help us raise the remaining $7 million to complete the $35
million goal. Funding options can be customized to fit your charitable preferences and
corporate philanthropic goals.
We are dedicated to working with you to maximize broad recognition tailored to your
constituents for your contributions to this initiative.
AAPG members and staff have developed programs in support of the geosciences,
professionals and students. The compelling case for support of AAPGs financial plan is
based on our focus of science and people.
In the following proposal, we provide brief descriptions of several key successful
programs at AAPG. Trustees, in their wisdom, decided to set aside funds to endow
operating costs to cover overhead, salaries and benefits. All monies raised in this
campaign go directly toward the program initiatives described herein.
We invite you to partner with us for the future of our science and profession.
Sincerely,
Corporate Financial Partnership Campaign

In July of 2005, the AAPG Foundation Trustees and staff embarked on a crusade like
none in its history a campaign to raise $35 million for the geosciences. Why such an
undertaking? The requests for funding of research and worthy programs continue to
exceed the ability of the Foundation to meet those requests.
Why $35 million? An in-depth study identified major new initiatives and areas of
improvement to current programs which could better meet the needs of our students,
teachers and researchers. The achievement of this goal will provide new opportunities
which will turn into accomplishments and impact the world.
From an organization that boasts over 38,000 members, more than 6,300 donors have
already shown their support by giving to this effort. Many show their dedication by giving
on a yearly basis. The funds raised are already making a difference, but there is still more
to raise.
Please take a moment to consider areas in which there may be a corporate and personal
interest.
The Foundation Trustees and staff will make a pact with you that in return for your
support, we will provide progress reports and feedback so that you will see the full
impact of your giving.
This goal is attainable with your help as the closer. Join us in meeting the challenge
and making an investment in the future.

PARTICIPANT TESTIMONIAL
Cameron D. Campbell
ExxonMobil Exploration Geoscientist
2008 San Diego State University IBA Team
After working for a whole three days, I see the importance of how the IBA project allowed me to get the
experience needed.
I couldnt realize it at the time, but the Imperial Barrel has just translated into a real-life experience here at
work, as they have literally handed me a dataset and said, here you go. Apart from the mentoring and training,
competing in the Barrel has given me the right tools and the required steps needed to make things happen, and
in return I know I can contribute from day three!

The Power of People:University Research Grant
Funding levels for petroleum-geoscience-related research projects are currently
low or non-existent at many universities. Because research funding is
still preferentially available for non-petroleum topics such as deep earth,environmental and renewable resources, students and faculty gravitate by
financial necessity to these disciplines. As a result, many students enrolled
in geoscience programs are not receiving the opportunity to develop the
skills needed to populate a future energy workforce.
AAPGs PetroGrant program, an initiative to fill this funding gap, is in its
second year. It is designed to provide funds to undergraduate and graduate
students engaged in petroleum research.
The AAPG Foundation recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding
with the National Science Foundation to jointly administer funds dedicated
to this program.
The project directly benefits a wide spectrum of U.S. university
geoscience students while providing a unique opportunity to assure the
availability of a well-qualified geosciences workforce for the future.
Partnership Opportunity:
This program will cultivate and build a new relationship among industry, academia
and government, and help to maintain an active university program in petroleum
education. It is an opportunity to apply a broad approach across many universities to
develop new petroleum geoscientists and foster a much-needed future workforce.
Corporate Benefit:
The PetroGrant program will help develop new petroleum geoscientists by:
Increasing interest and research in petroleum-related programs at the university
level.
Creating a better-equipped and more educated workforce.
Improving public relations between industry, academia and government.
An additional important benefit forsponsors is the opportunity to have
the first look at many new research
projects and the students involved with
them. From an overarching perspective, it
will also increase the general support of
university geoscience departments.

The Power of People:AAPG Digital Library
Decades of hard-working geologists have carefully written about
their oil and gas discoveries, leaving a priceless legacy of knowledge
so that those who followed could more effectively explore for
hydrocarbons.
These articles are forever captured in AAPGs digital library,
Datapages.
AAPG is the only major society that actively seeks to find,
preserve and digitally republish geoscience and other industry-related
publications. Datapages is the repository for these treasures.
In addition to all of AAPGs publications, Datapages contains the
archives of nearly 30 other societies from around the globe.
The Association funds the capture and publishing of all digitized
publications in addition to paying each contributing society a royalty
from subscription sales.
One of the ways to access the Datapages library is through Digital Products University
Subscriptions. This online portal provides faculty and students with unlimited access to
nearly one million pages of geoscience publications and geological information at the
touch of a computer key. AAPG Datapages is continually updating this digital library to
include additional discoveries and new publications worldwide.
Partnership Opportunity:
Participation in Datapages University Subscriptions helps guarantee three major
outcomes:
Generations of students will receive digital access to whole collections of geological data.
The selected university will continue to educate the future leaders in our industry.
Your organization will be recognized each time a student or faculty accesses the data.
Best of all, this partnership provides the digital subscription to the university in
perpetuity as long as the geosciences or earth sciences department exists at the
university.
Corporate Benefit:
The University Subscriptions program is an incredible opportunity for corporate
recognition. A participating companys prominent logo is located on the universitys

The Power of Science:Online Technical Resources
Sometimes a tremendous result comes from a
very small seed. AAPG Search and Discoverywas a
small idea generated by an AAPG member more
than a decade ago. The idea was to digitally capture
and make available online many of the talks, posters
and audiovisual presentations made at AAPGs many
meetings. Selected presentations from educational
eventssuchasAAPGHedbergConferences,
Distinguished Lecture Series, and others also have
been captured. Many of these valuable contributions
to geoscience will never make their way into print.
The goal of Search and Discoveryis to make these
cutting-edge presentations digitally available in a timely manner.
Search and Discoverynow receives over one million unique visits per year,
allowing users unlimited access to over 30,000 papers, posters, abstracts and
videos. Geoscientists from around the world both contribute to and utilize this
valuable resource along with AAPG members, students, industry and members of
the general public through Google searches. Search and Discoveryis a great public
outreach tool that is accessed by people of all walks of life from around the world.
Partnership Opportunity:
AAPGs goal is to maintain existing and add new content to Search and Discovery,
and improve its website deliverability. To achieve these
goals, additional financial support is needed from the
corporate community.
Corporate Benefit:
Search and Discoveryis a unique sponsorship
opportunity. Participating companies will reap the benefits
of their logo appearing on the Search and Discovery
home page, knowing that it will be viewed, and company
information potentially accessed, more than one milliontimes per year.

The Power of Science: Online Technical Resources
Program Status:
Search and Discoverysaw very wide usage from its roots as a small volunteer program.
As a result, it has evolved into a fully staffed online publication with an AAPG appointed
editorial board. Search and Discoverycontinues to enjoy increased usage by the geoscience
community and academia. Meeting this demand also requires addition of new content. In
2009, almost 500 new articles were added.
Financial Considerations:
In late fiscal year 2009-2010, a full time staff member was appointed to handle the
increased administrative work required for new content development. It is estimated that
program costs will exceed $170,000 in 2011.
Sponsorship Request:
Your gift of $50,000 per year for five years will provide much needed funding and
will enable AAPG to maintain existing and add new content to Search and Discovery.
Total support requested is $250,000.

One of the Associations most popular initiatives, the annual
Distinguished Lecture series, reaches more geoscientists and engineers
than any other AAPG program, with the exception of ACE and ICE.
Distinguished Lecturers are unpaid volunteers who embark on two- or
three-week tours to speak before local geological societies and
university groups around the world.
They are selected for their expertise in topics of current interest to
geoscientist professionals, and are held in high regard by their peers.
Although they are not compensated for their time, Distinguished
Lecturers necessarily incur substantial expenses in traveling to their
global audiences. There is enough current financial support for only
10 to 14 Distinguished Lecture tours, which results in the rejection of anumber of tour requests.
Partnership Opportunity:
AAPGs goal is to significantly expand the program to achieve a more
global reach by increasing the number of lecturers to at least 20 per year.
Corporate Benefit:
A sponsoring entity may choose to sponsor a geographic area, a specific
Distinguished Lecturer, or both. A sponsoring companys name will be
displayed in conjunction with a Distinguished Lecture tour in a specific area.The organizations logo will be displayed on tour promotional materials,
including company name and/or logo placement on the Distinguished
Lecturer website and printed brochures, and displayed during the sponsored
Distinguished Lecture presentation. A sponsoring company also will receive
recognition on the specifically-sponsored Distinguished Lecturers webpage.

The Power of Public Outreach:Distinguished Lecturers
U.S. and non-U.S. Distinguished Lecturers
Program Status:
The attendance rate for the Distinguished Lecture program has experienced an 80%
growth rate over the last five years. The impact of the program continues to increase.
Financial Considerations:
In order to achieve growth targets and extend the global impact of the popular DL
series, funds for travel, technical support and facilitation are needed.
Sponsorship Request:
Your support would fund either a single tour, a full year of U.S. or non-U.S. tours,or would endow the Distinguished Lecture program. The cost per U.S. tour is $18,000
and the cost per non-U.S. tour is $27,000. Your support of $350,000 would endow and
name a U.S. Distinguished Lecture program. To endow and name a non-U.S. tour, the
cost would be $675,000.

The Power of Public Outreach:Region Special Lecturers
Geoscience lecturers in the AAPG regions are in continuous demand, especially
from universities and AAPG affiliated societies. It is the highest honor to be chosen asa Distinguished Lecturer. The annual Distinguished Lecturer program provides excellent
lecturers, but they are limited in the number of venues they can reach during a year.
AAPGs new Region Special Lecturerprogram (RSL) is designed to enable the regional
offices to select top scientists from each region to make a tour within the region. This
will provide more opportunity for AAPG to disseminate
science and information about our profession to
students, professors, industry professionals and
the general public. The Region Special Lecturers will
focus on regional exploration plays and development
projects or on current geoscience/technologicalissues. Although most RSLs will be geoscientists,
these expert speakers can be from a wide range of
disciplines.
Partnership Opportunity:
AAPGs goal is to develop this program within all
six non-U.S. regions of AAPG to provide a broader
program of education and public outreach. Our goal is to provide up to five named RSLs
per year for each region.
Corporate Benefit:
This is an excellent naming opportunity. Sponsors may choose a region and their
corporate name will be associated for a specific lecture series within the period of
funding. In addition, the organizations logo will be displayed on tour promotional
materials, including company name and/or logo placement on the region website
and printed brochures, and displayed during the sponsored Region Special Lecturer
presentation. A sponsoring company will also receive recognition on the specifically-
sponsored RSL web page.

The Power of Public Outreach:Region Special Lecturers
Program Status:
The Region Special Lecturerprogram is new, and as such, does not have any
history. A few of the AAPG regions have experimented with this program with somesuccess limited by budgetary constraints. Our only statistic is the high interest in
AAPG Distinguished Lecturers and the constant request for more.
Financial Consideration:
The primary cost of the Region Special Lecturerprogram is for travel and
accommodations.The cost per stop ranges from $1,200 in Europe to $2,000 in the Asia
Pacific region. Each Region Special Lecturermakes 5-10 stops in a tour.
Sponsorship Request:
Your support is needed in the amount of $18,000-$30,000 per year for special
lecturers to make at least five visits per year. A gift of $54,000-$90,000 would fund a
three-year tour.

The portal to our professions future is through Web services.
Online resources represent the primary method for dissemination of scientific
information, and represent the key to future geoscience education andnetworking.
AAPG has been a pivotal leader in the digitization
of geoscience publications and materials as well as
providing a known and trusted online site for the
distribution of digital petroleum geoscience knowledge
and information.
The need for new and additional electronic information
currently exceeds available funding. With generations of
available information waiting to be digitized, AAPG has
barely scratched the surface on this opportunity.
Partnership Opportunity:
AAPG desires a financial partner that will invest in the
building of a high-quality Web portal, one that is necessary
to meet the scientific and informational needs of our profession, industry, students,
government and society.
Corporate Benefit:
Financial partners would benefit from the display of their corporate name on
AAPG products and websites created with their assistance.

The Power of Public Outreach: Web Development
Program Status:
The Web is vital for communicating with many audiences of the association and
industry. AAPG maintains two public websites aapg.org and petroleumgeology.org. AAPG.org is the mainstay for the organization and development is continuous in creating
and orchestrating over 12,000 individual pages on the non-scientific areas of the site.
Petroleumgeology.org was created for use by students and teachers and would be a
prime area for development of teaching and informational materials.
Factsaboutenergy.org is another site under construction and is focused on the
information-consuming public, such as investors, lawmakers, industry planners and others
interested in the macro and micro numbers of the industry as well as other pertinent
facts. Content development is continuing.
Financial Considerations:
To create an internet community, a robust software platform is required with
hardware able to handle the hard drive capacity and bandwidth necessary for multiple
web growth opportunities. And, as always, content is what drives the power of the
Internet. The initial development and maintenance of fresh editorial items is essential.
Sponsorship Request:
This request has two distinct and separate components.
Your support of $100,000 per year over three years would purchase the hardware
and software needed.
Your annual gift of $200,000 would fund ongoing content development.
