Galileo Circle

The Galileo Circle

The Galileo Circle is a group of special friends of The American Geographical Society who give to or obtain for the Society a donation of at least $1,000 per year. They play an important part in the work of AGS, and they help to ensure the strength of the Society.

Galileo Circle members enjoy priority access to the AGS staff and Council and through them to authorities on economic, cultural, political, environmental, and other geographical issues. They attend special events and private briefings with the Council, as guests of the Council.
To become a Galileo Circle Member, download the Galileo membership Form.

Whether you give by check or credit card, the AGS will send you a printed acknowlegement for tax purposes.
