Parapsychology is a challenging and exciting science, but
it is also a controversial science. It is no secret that
scientists working in this field do not enjoy the same levels
of financial support that their colleagues in the more
conventional fields enjoy. Traditionally most of the modest
support for parapsychological research has come from
individuals and foundations with the vision and courage needed
to support science on the cutting edge.
No other organization in the world performs the job that the
Parapsychological Association does. The PA provides a
professional home for scientists and scholars around the
world who dare to investigate phenomena shunned by mainstream
science. The PA unites both the skeptics and the advocates of
parapsychologys controversial findings in productive
scientific dialogue. The PA provides objective and reasoned
information on what is known and what is not known about
parapsychology and psychic phenomena to the media and the
public, who are all too often beset by the irrational claims
from those with unscientific beliefs in either the existence
or non-existence of psychic phenomena.
The PA needs your support
The PA operates on a very limited budget and with the generous
help of volunteers. Funds are urgently needed to create an
endowment capable of supporting at least part-time
professional staff as well as the ongoing operations of the
organization. Support is also needed to help expand our
educational and public information services. The PAs
Treasurer (E-mail)
will be happy to discuss with individuals and foundations
various ways in which the work of our organization can be
supported.
The Parapsychological Association, Inc., is a 501(c)(3)
charitable organization and donations
are tax-deductible under the U.S. Internal Revenue
Service Code. The PA is listed with NetworkForGood, Guidestar
and PayPal.
Your support is appreciated.
