Legacy Giving
Minerals, metals and materials scientists and engineers are changing the world. By investing in our people with education, collaboration, and a diverse workforce we can ensure continuing innovation and transformation.
Making a legacy gift to the TMS Foundation honors your commitment to strengthening our field both now and for future generations by:
- Supporting the field you have dedicated your career to advancing. Donating to the TMS Foundation creates opportunities for students and professionals to develop their careers and foster diversity and inclusion in the STEM community.
- Providing long-term funding that lasts beyond your lifetime. Legacy gifts strengthen our field for years to come.
- Costing you nothing now. Have a significant impact on the field of minerals, metals and materials without putting any financial stress on you or your loved ones. Legacy gits are tax-exempt, potentially lowering your heirs’ tax obligations.
