For those who have asked what this Foundation is and where the money goes . .  . the Foundation receives all author royalties from David's introductory psychology textbooks (Psychology and Exploring Psychology) and from his general audience trade books (The Pursuit of Happiness, The American Paradox, A Quiet World, Intuition, What God Has Joined Together, and A Friendly Letter to Skeptics and Atheists). The Foundation exists "to receive and distribute funds to other charitable organizations." The Foundation regrets that, with no staff and limited resources, it does not invite unsolicited proposals.
