Vision
The AAPG Foundation was established in 1967 to assist the Association and
other qualified organizations by providing a source of funding to support
educational, charitable and scientific objectives which directly and indirectly
benefit the geologic profession and the general public.
Previously, costs of AAPG services and publications were entirely defrayed by
Association membership dues and from sales of publications. However, as costs
continued to increase, it became apparent additional funding would be essential to
the continued success of the Association.
The leaders of the Association and the Foundation are committed to the belief
that a strong Association is mandatory to ensure the future of petroleum geology
in providing energy for the benefit of mankind.
Uniting their strengths, the Association and the Foundation become an
instrument for providing informational, networking, and financial benefits, and
strive together to ensure the quality and quantity of AAPG products and services
to its membership, the greater geoscience community and our global society.

A field trip to Enchanted Rock, near San Antonio, was included in the
Trustee Associates annual meeting agenda in 2006.
Message from the Chairman
As chairman of the AAPG Foundation’s Board of Trustees, it continues to be
a privilege and pleasure to thank you for your long time dedication to, and
support of, the AAPG and its Foundation.
As more fully described in this Annual Report, this has been a very good
year for the AAPG Foundation. Your generosity – coupled with earnings
from prudent investments – has allowed the Foundation to fund the diverse
and far-reaching traditional programs that have meant so much to so many.
And with your help we’ll continue to provide such support.
But we’re also looking beyond those efforts.
To help us fund major new initiatives – and to increase funding for programs
that already exist – we are about to embark on a major, new fundraising
campaign for the Foundation. While in the beginning phase, this campaign
already has received a bequest of $10 million from the estate of L. Austin
Weeks, a Trustee Associate and one of the Foundation’s most generous
supporters. We trust that this lead gift – the largest single gift ever received
by the Foundation – will both challenge and inspire donors to participate
most generously in this campaign, and thereby ensure its success.
Fisher
Again, we on the Board of Trustees extend our appreciation to those who
have given of their time and money in the past year and throughout the
Foundation’s history. And now we urge your continued support of the
AAPG Foundation as an investment in the future.
This report is offered in deepest gratitude and recognition of your many
gifts.
William L. Fisher, Chairman

Message from the
Executive Director
First lady Abigail Adams, wife of second
President John Adams, was very interested
in the education and enlightenment of our
new country. She was quoted to say,
“Learning is not obtained by chance. It
must be sought with ardor, and attended to
with diligence.”
Supporting education with “diligence” is the
key factor to the AAPG Foundation’s
success. From young to old, student to
professional, and member to the general
public the Foundation seeks excellence in
education and building a better community.
Good education is, after all, the essential
foundation of freedom.
Thanks to your generous support, the
Fritz
AAPG Foundation has expanded its support
of three key areas in education—K-12, Grants-in-Aid and
Distinguished Lecturers. The AAPG Foundation regularly
supports K-12 programs especially through AGI. In 2006,
we joined AGI in supporting the production of the science
channel Discovery System Earth television series. This
series is scheduled to air during the later part of 2007.
The AAPG’s Grants-in-Aid Program continues to be one of
our premier programs to support education of students.
Last year we increased support of the Grants-in-Aid
Program by over 20% — from $151,000 to $181,000.

AAPG Foundation Distinguished
Lecturers and Visiting Geologists are
sent all over the world to speak to
students, professionals and the general
public. Collectively, these two
programs are second only to the annual
convention in personally reaching and
teaching people. Last year the AAPG
Foundation increased its donation to the
Distinguished Lecturer program by
eight percent and we have a new
fundraising campaign to double the
number of Distinguished Lecturers
worldwide.
Of course, AAPG also supports
education and communication through
publications such as the AAPG
BULLETIN and the Datapages Digital
Geology fund. As you scan through
this annual report, your will see many
other programs that support the Foundation’s mission.
We send and support many teachers and students around
the globe to improve the world in which we live. I once
read that “Great teachers never strive to explain their
vision—they simply invite you to stand beside them and
see for yourself” (R. Inman).
As always, we thank you for your continuing support.
Because of you, your AAPG Foundation is a growing,
vibrant vehicle. Come, continue to stand beside us as we
continue to build and prepare for the future.

Status of the AAPG Foundation
Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2006
The major objectives of the AAPG Foundation are to
provide funding for programs to encourage better
understanding and advancement of geosciences, and for
projects that support the education, training, and career
enhancement for earth scientists.
The Foundation investment portfolio increased by
$11.95 million last year, the result of the most gracious
bequest of $10 million from the estate of L. Austin Weeks
and a favorable stocks and bonds market. The value of the
portfolio at the end of the fiscal year was $30.822 million.
The total assets of the Foundation were $34.755
million. This includes the fixed assets which consist
primarily of the AAPG Foundation headquarters buildings
and the investment portfolio.
For the fiscal year, the Foundation had total gross
revenues of $13.28 million. Total expenditures of $2.32
million resulted in a positive cash flow of $10.96 million.
Considering net realized and unrealized capital gains of
$929,000 resulted in a net gain for the year of $11.89
million.
The Foundation received $10,594 million from donors
in 2005-06.

L. Austin Weeks Memorial Endowment Fund
The L. Austin Weeks Memorial Endowment Fund was established in 2005 by a bequest from L. Austin Weeks to provide
funding which furthers the AAPG Foundation mission to support educational, charitable, and scientific activities related
to, or allied with, the field of geology. The Trustees were delighted to provide grants to the following recipients:
• A grant of $100,000 to the American Geological Institute for AGI’s System Earth TV Series, in collaboration with the
Science Channel/Discovery Communications development of a four-part television series entitled Faces of Earth.
• In collaboration with the American Geological Institute Foundation a grant of $75,000 was awarded for the William L.
Fisher Congressional Geoscience Fellowship. The award provides geoscientists to bring their knowledge and
expertise to bear on national issues by serving in the personal office of a representative or on the staff of a
congressional committee.
• A grant in the amount of $1,099 to St. Vivian Elementary School in Cincinnati, Ohio for the
purchase of a geology stream table. This equipment will be used by 150 junior high students
annually and will allow for students to observe the various forces that shape the natural
development of waterways, contact with various types of rock layers, and blockages.

AAPG Foundation Energy Resources Library
The AAPG Foundation Energy Resources Library
continues to be a vibrant research entity serving AAPG
members as well as the general public. A recent user
satisfaction survey completed by both members and nonmembers previously using the library services drew a
46.6% response of the total distribution and concluded:
3 A 98.7% positive response in relation to both quality
of service and cost savings to library users.
3 A 91.6% positive response that information received
resulted in time saved and/or costs avoided for
respondents.
In 2005-06 several special projects were completed
including:
3 A complete review and purchase for the collection of
missing volumes from Abilene Geological Society,
Corpus Christi Geological Society, Dallas Geological
Society, Houston Geological Society, Ohio Geological
Society and the Society for Organic Petrology.
maps, cross sections, columnar sections, photographs and
illustrations pertaining to the area.
Field trip leaders are asked to make at least one copy of
their field trip guidebook available to the AAPG
Foundation Energy Resources Library by donation or for
purchase by the library to ensure the guidebook
information is not lost. (Note: Four out of five guidebooks
were obtained from field trips held during the 2006 AAPG
Annual Convention.)
Thank you to all AAPG members and non-members who
used the AAPG Foundation Energy Resources Library
services this past fiscal year and/or donated to the Daniel
A. Busch Library Fund.

AAPG EXPLORER.
One of the library’s most important ongoing projects is the
field trip guidebook donation campaign. Field trip
guidebooks are prepared for field trip participants and
include a road log of stops, written text composed by the
field trip leaders and may also include: reprints of articles,

Mary Kay Grosvald and Karen Piqune, AAPG Foundation Librarians, provided
services in 2006 to more AAPG members than any previous year. Also, over 13,600
individual research requests were generated.
E. F. Reid Scouting Fund
The E.F. Reid Scouting Fund was named in honor of the
late Eugene F. Reid, in recognition for his long-time
dedication and financial support of the Boy Scouts and
the Boy Scouts Geology Merit Badge.
During 2006, funding was provided to the Philmont
National Boy Scout Ranch, Cimarron, New Mexico, to
produce a handbook for the volunteer Philmont
geologists who help identify rocks and minerals, and
describe the geology, hydrology and mining history of the
area.
The Tall Pine Council, Boy Scouts of America in Flint,
Michigan was awarded funding to enhance the geology
merit badge program by purchasing learning aids, books,
rocks and mineral samples and tests kits at Camp Tapico,
were 1,500 boys were given the opportunity to fulfill
requirement 12(b).

Visiting Geoscientist Program
The Visiting Geologists Program was developed in 1974 to give students a chance to meet practicing geologists and to
discuss geological career options. Speakers usually give a technical talk in their area of specialty as well as a
presentation on career opportunities. Providing an effective means of communication among students, faculty,
university administrators and geology professionals, this forum offers first-hand factual discussions on the current
energy situation and the role of geology in society. The Visiting Geologist Program was changed to the Visiting
Geoscientist Program in 2006 by the VGP Committee at the AAPG annual convention. The Foundation appreciatively
recognizes the following 2005-2006 speakers*:
Lee Billingsley, San Diego State
University, New Mexico State
University, & Texas A&M University
Chuck Caughey, University of Jordan
Herman Darman, Trisakti University
& Institute of Technology, Bandung
