The Permanent Fund

Since 1937 the PERMANENT FUND has been the Harvard Travellers Club's primary means of supporting and encouraging worthy travel-related research and exploration. Each year, in the best tradition of supporting "intelligent travel," the PERMANENT FUND has provided modest stipends (typically about $3000) to one or more dedicated and adventurous researchers.

Normally $10 of your annual dues is automatically allocated to the PERMANENT FUND unless you specify otherwise. We further encourage you to consider an additional contribution, however large or small. You can simply include your additional gift with your annual dues payment, and indicate that it is for the PERMANENT FUND. Alternatively, a check, made out to the HARVARD TRAVELLERS CLUB PERMANENT FUND may be sent to the Secretary-Treasurer, Kenneth J. Bures, 16 Washington Square, Marblehead, MA 01945-3227.

Members may also want to consider a bequest, or a gift of securities or saleable property. All such gifts are welcome and encouraged. Any donation to the PERMANENT FUND is, of course, fully tax deductible as a charitable gift.
