Donating to the Larry Calvert CNC/IUCr Trust Fund

The Larry Calvert CNC/IUCr Trust Fund offers travel awards for students presenting a poster or talk at the triennial IUCr congresses, as well as a poster award for the best Canadian student poster at the yearly American Crystallographic Association meetings that officially support the North and South American region.

To maintain and grow the fund, not more than one-half of the interest on the "fund's principal" can be spent on awards. For received donations, by default, 50% is added to the principal and 50% spent on the awards. Though people donating to the fund can, if they wish, specify the percentages of their donation to be split between the principal, spent on triennial IUCr travel awards and the annual Canadian Crystallography Student Presentation Award for the best Canadian student poster at the yearly American Crystallographic Association meetings. However, actual amounts split between donations and growing the fund is subject to Canada Revenue Agency regulations.
