Adler Endowment Fund

The Adler Endowment Fund, created in honor of Isidore and Annie Adler, is dedicated to the operation of the National Youth Science Camp. The Adler Endowment Fund accepts cash, pledges, stocks or bonds, land, book royalty donations and other creative proposals. The principle of the fund is invested, and in time the interest will be drawn to aid in the operation of NYSC. To date, no interest nor principle has been expended as the fund is in the development phase.

National Center for Youth Science Education Construction and Operating Endowment Fund

The Construction and Operating Endowment Fund is dedicated to supporting the establishment and operation of the National Center for Youth Science Education and consists of two components. The construction component of the fund will support the planning, design, and construction phase of this monumental project.  An estimate of constructions costs is currently being developed. The operating endowment component of the fund will be dedicated to sustaining the annual operations of the Center once it is constructed.  An estimate of annual operating expenses is currently being developed.
