Your gift – and your impact – will be doubled!
Dangerous asteroid impacts are rare, but they do happen. And they will continue to happen unless we can prevent them. That’s where you come in!
For the past 28 years, with the support of people like you, The Planetary Society has supported Near Earth Object research through our Shoemaker NEO Grant Program, given every two years. Named after Planetary Geologist, Gene Shoemaker, these grants provide funds so that astronomers around the world can upgrade their observing equipment to help find, track, and characterize potentially dangerous asteroids. The more expert asteroid hunters you help us fund through Shoemaker NEO Grants, the more we’ll be prepared to defend Earth!
You can help advance the search for these near-Earth objects with a gift of any amount. Plus, when you give today, a generous Society member who cares deeply about planetary defense will match your gift dollar for dollar, up to a total of $25,000.
Thank you,
Dr. Bruce Betts, Chief Scientist
The Planetary Society
