Membership and Donations

The Fluorescent Mineral Society is a 501(c)(3) scientific and educational based non-profit organization. As the organization is managed entirely by volunteers, we are able utilize your membership dues and donations very effectively.

The majority of our funding provides the resources necessary to produce and distribute both the UV Waves and The Journal publications. We support our regional chapters and their activities to meet the needs of their local members.

As we look to the future, we will invest in growing our hobby, especially as we reach out to the next generation of fluorescent rock collectors through a focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) curriculum.

Support our efforts and help your hobby grow by becoming a member or donating today.
