The ARES Foundation was created by the ARES Board of Directors in 1986 and was renamed in honour of founder James R. Webb in 2009. Currently, the primary activity of the Foundation is the funding of over forty PhD students to attend the Doctoral Seminar at the ARES Annual Meeting. ARES Foundation grants and prizes have helped hundreds of scholars. The Foundation has an endowment but it needs support to fully fund its current and future activities.
