Page 27 - 2007 AMA Summer

Martin Bazire, I consulted our Vice President, John Muston who had helped found the fund in 1975. We agreed that the charter of the fund should be updated and that the pur­ pose of the fund should be amended to reflect the broad­ er base of our membership rather than just young climbers.
It was important that the fund retained its charitable status as we had a considerable sum invested (about £100K at the time of writing) and I therefore
set about carefully re-crafting the charter. With John’s approval, and the agreement of the other trustees, these changes were made to the charter in early 2004 and the funds aim is now, “To provide grant aid to British Army expe­ ditions in order to allow Officers and Soldiers to increase their mountaineering experience and allow them to develop their mountaineering skills and judgement.”
It is from this Memorial Fund that the majority of the AMA’s
expedition grants are now awarded. The fund now pro­ duces an income of some £4,500 per year and this is supplemented annually by a grant from the AMA’s General Purpose Fund. The AMA’s grant sub committee makes a number of grants from these funds each year and an appli­ cation form can be found on the AMA website (www.thea- ma.org.uk).
The fund is remains perma­ nently open to receive gifts and donations from current or
ex members. All gifts received are invested into the funds investment portfolio and only the interest and divi­ dends earned are awarded as grants. If you would like to make a donation please send it to the AMA Treasurer at our main address at JSMTC(I).
30 years after its inception I believe that the AMA Memorial Fund remains a fit­ ting tribute to those of our members that have lost their lives in the mountains or on operations around the world.
