SUPPORT THE B. F. SKINNER FOUNDATION

DOUBLE THE IMPACT OF YOUR DONATION! 
BETWEEN NOW AND DECEMBER 31, 2025, YOUR DONATIONS ARE BEING MATCHED BY A GENEROUS DONOR!


I know how much you value the contributions of B. F. Skinner as a scientist, a philosopher, and a social commentator. You also understand how his scientific principles have made possible improvements in people’s lives, especially in those of children with autism. In today’s climate, replacing aversive techniques with positive procedures is needed more than ever. The Foundation works towards that goal. The Foundation website provides information to the media and to the public. We make what Skinner said in his publications and talks available to the public. The magazine Operants spreads current work of researchers, theorists, and practitioners worldwide. The Foundation works with Harvard University’s archival programs to preserve archival materials for future generations.  In the past several years demands for Foundation services have increased. So has the Foundation’s need for resources. Please donate today.

Would anyone be interested in forming small coffee club groups (informal) in Florida? We can't let our country fall into this vicious cycle of punishment - I am guessing that's how Sparta and Athens destroyed each other? What can we do to help our communities?

Beyond being a tremendous resource and asset for the field of behavioral science, the B. F. Skinner Foundation is preserving and carrying forward the legacy of an individual whose contributions to our understanding of the world and to the positive impact on people's lives are just beginning to be seen. Skinner is our Darwin, our Mendel, our Dalton our Einstein. What's more, the folks involved in the Foundation are kind, passionate, and creative. My time volunteering for the Foundation has been nurturing, joyful, and educational. I can't think of an organization I'd be prouder to support financially and otherwise!

I’m proud to be a Sustainer of the B. F. Skinner Foundation. Skinner’s conceptual analysis of Verbal Behavior profoundly shaped how I approach teaching language. Thanks to the incredible professionals I've had the privilege to learn from, I’m fortunate to work in a meaningful, fulfilling career with amazing individuals. I hope you’ll consider becoming a Sustainer too—this work is worth supporting!

Indebted to Darrell Bostow who saved me from a life of mentalism, and to the Behavior Analysis program at Drake University (Scott Wood, Larry Alferink, et al.) who taught me the craft.
