If one were to donate to a charity or non-profit of some sort that benefits surveyors, what would it be? I'm trying to find an appropriate organization that maybe helps surveying students through scholarships, or maybe something that helps recruit students into becoming surveyors. I would prefer something on a national (U.S.) level.
I'm working on launching a new product specifically for Land Surveyors, and I want to put a portion of the income toward an organization that somehow helps to improve or grow the profession.
Any suggestions?
