To help insure that the Argus Planetarium will be operating long into
the future, we have joined with the Ann Arbor Public Schools
Outdoor Education Program
to create an endowment. The
AAPS SEEE (
Ann
Arbor
Public
Schools
Science and
Environmental
Education
Endowment)
is managed by the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation, which has an
outstanding reputation. If you would like to learn about ways you
can contribute to our endowment or if you would like to make an online gift,
click on the first link below, then click on the
Network for Good logo. (By making your donation through this foundation, your gift qualifies
for the Michigan Community Foundation Tax Credit as well as a
charitable deduction on your federal income tax return. While this
additional credit is available for Michigan residents only,
non-residents may still take advantage of the federal tax savings.)
The SEEE Fund is a Designated fund
within the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation. All gifts to this
fund are invested and the returns distributed to the agency in
accordance with the Community Foundation's spending policy. The
Community Foundation may redirect the endowment fund if the agency
ceases to exist of if our Trustees discern that distribution becomes
unnecessary, impossible, or inconsistent with the needs of the
community.
