Donations

Our Annual Gem & Mineral Show is the LGMS’s primary source of operating funds. When you help support the cost of putting on the show, you are doing more than helping us host an event—you are helping sustain the programs, activities, and educational opportunities that make our club possible.

Your support helps us continue our mission of promoting and expanding education in the Earth Sciences and sharing the fascinating world of rocks, minerals, fossils, geology, and lapidary arts with our community.

Your gift may be tax-deductible even if you don’t itemize.

Help Us Grow Our Workshop & Meeting Space



Our workshop and meeting space are at the heart of the Lubbock Gem & Mineral Society. They give our members a place to learn, create, share knowledge, and develop hands-on skills in lapidary arts and the Earth Sciences.

As our club grows, so does the need to maintain, improve, and expand these facilities. Your financial support can help us keep our equipment in good working order, make needed improvements, add new capabilities, and create a better space for both current and future members.

Every contribution—large or small—helps us provide more opportunities for people of all ages to learn about rocks, minerals, fossils, geology, and lapidary arts.

Help us build a better place to learn, create, and share our passion for the Earth.

Honor a Rockhound’s Legacy

A love of rocks, minerals, and the Earth is something that can be passed from one generation to another. A memorial gift is a meaningful way to honor a loved one while helping that passion continue.

By making a donation in memory of a fellow rockhound, you can carry their love of the Earth Sciences forward and help inspire the next generation of collectors, explorers, and lapidary artists.

All donations made through this memorial fund are designated for the LGMS Education Fund, supporting educational programs and activities that introduce people of all ages to the fascinating world of gems, minerals, fossils, geology, and the Earth Sciences.

Honor their memory. Continue their passion. Inspire someone new.
