Contributions to the Rupert Barneby Fund

THE RUPERT BARNEBY FUND FOR RESEARCH IN LEGUME SYSTEMATICS


The Rupert Barneby Fund for Research in Legume Systematics was established
at The New York Botanical Garden in 1991 to honor Rupert by
institutionalizing his legacy.  The Fund has three purposes specifically
chosen to reflect Rupert's wishes: first, to support legume research at The
New York Botanical Garden;  second, to provide monies to bring legume
researchers from around the world to the Garden for extended visits to study
the collections Rupert so painstakingly worked to improve; and third, to
eventually provide an endowed chair for a legume researcher at the Garden.

Annually since 1991, the Fund has sponsored the competitive "Rupert Barneby
Award" in the amount of $1000 to bring one or more visiting scientists to
the Garden for the study of our collection of legumes.

The money for the Fund comes from a variety of sources, but primarily
through private gifts. Anyone interested in making a contribution, large or
small, to THE RUPERT BARNEBY FUND FOR RESEARCH IN LEGUME SYSTEMATICS, which
supports this award, may send their check, payable to The New York Botanical
Garden, to Dr. James L. Luteyn, The New York Botanical Garden, 200th Street
& Kazimiroff Blvd., Bronx, NY 10458-5126, USA.

The New York Botanical Garden is a not-for-profit, tax-exempt organization.
Each gift to THE RUPERT BARNEBY FUND FOR RESEARCH IN LEGUME SYSTEMATICS will
be duly acknowledged by the Garden for its intent and for tax purposes.
