AHS Foundation
The AHS Foundation was established at the urging of the Society to provide long-term assured funding for annual scholarships including the Bouwer and Halpenny Internships, three university scholarships, an intern at Northern Arizona University, and other programs intended to assist outstanding and deserving students.
Given the current economic situation, now, more than ever, we must aid those bright students who will become the young professionals motivated to solve the critical water problems facing Arizona, the United States, and the world at large. The AHS Foundation manages its endowment funds very conservatively, preserving capital and allocating only earnings to support the scholarships. In the present financial climate, it is difficult to maintain, much less expand, these highly successful educational programs. For this reason, your charitable contribution will provide vital dollars to sustain and enhance the Foundation’s efforts to provide these unique educational opportunities to our future leaders in the hydrological sciences.
The Arizona Hydrological Society Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization. All donations qualify for a 100% charitable deduction on personal or business income tax returns. Foundation Directors are all volunteers and are not paid for their time, support or work for the Foundation.

Announcements
The AHS Foundation would like to recognize Montgomery Associates for its recent generous donation to the Foundation scholarship fund. Not only did Montgomery Associates repeat its annual $5,000 contribution, but the company offered an employee donation match, which generated an additional $600. Total corporate and personal donations to the Foundation for 2010 to date now exceed $14,000. The Foundation thanks the principals and employees of Montgomery Associates, as well as everyone else who has contributed to our charitable endeavors and goals.
In 2010, the Foundation again split the costs of the three internships and three scholarships with AHS, for total charitable outlays of $8,800. This equals 88 percent of this year's cash flow, a very high charitable giving/operations ratio. We expect this ratio to grow even higher as we stabilize our accounting and legal status, and as the investment environment for our endowment fund improves.
