Proceeds from the 50^th Anniversary Technical Program and Awards Dinner will be used to grow the ATC Endowment Fund for use in supporting future projects of critical importance to the structural engineering profession.  Since its inception in 1989 as the Henry J. Degenkolb Memorial Endowment Fund, and its expansion in 2015 to incorporate the James Merriam Delahay Endowment Fund, the ATC Endowment Fund has invested more than $500,000 in engineering applications, reports, guides, small research projects, and training and dissemination of information to the profession.  A list of ATC Endowment Fund accomplishments can be found here.
