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.

My introduction to teaching was BF Skinner. It wasn't just a college theory class. I practiced it at my job as a dolphin trainer/show presenter. It carried over to my swim classes and my business. I thought it was set, match over. It was the best thing since sliced cake! However, I re-entered the work place 20 years of self employed business to find a shocking place. Today's workplace is much worse than I ever experienced before - I found too many people not understanding the methods of positive reinforcement and just simply going back to punishment etc. I am making a monthly donation because I want bosses, employees, friends, and country to benefit from this wonderful science. Change begins with me. I hope my small amount will help the foundation. Many thanks for all of the amazing information.

Skinner's work is the enduring heart of behavior analysis and will continue to anchor it as the field grows and diversifies. Preserving and promoting Skinner's legacy is the most effective way to contribute to the future.

I had the pleasure of meeting B. F. Skinner, as a teenager, while working at Charlie Atkinson’s Competence Assurance Systems (CAS) in Cambridge, MA. He would address me by name, unprompted. I found him genuinely interested in our conversation. Having the same name as his wife, I believe, generated moments upon which I fondly reflect decades later. I remember he smiled when he first learned my name was Yvonne. The work of this organization, to both preserve and build upon the legacy of B. F. Skinner is impressive. Proud to be considered a Friend. - C. Yvonne Hickey, North Attleboro, MA (and proud Cantabrigian)
