A Special Thank-You to Our Donors
Since our first fund drive began in 2017, we have traditionally used our annual conference program to honor those whose generous gifts in the preceding year helped us continue our important work toward advancing fairminded critical thinking.
Since our conference has moved online, we are pleased to use this online space to provide our contributors with the recognition they deserve. Below, you will find a list of donors who offered their support of our work – either in time or resources – from June 24th, 2022 to June 13th, 2023.

Benefactor of Critical Thinking ($5,000 - $14,999)
Out sincerest appreciation goes to the remarkable generosity of Benjamin Wade, who contributed as a Benefactor this year to the Foundation for Critical Thinking. In a world where critical thinking is often paid lip service but rarely supported by genuine means, we very much appreaciate Mr. Wade's substantial contribution.
Gifts in Kind
Once again we thank Kevin Holmes, who for nearly three years has consistently contributed his time and technological expertise to our mission without asking anything in return; we are lucky to count him among our friends.
Finally, our gratitude goes to Kathy Abney, whose has donated her time and graphic design skills to us for more than a decade through patience, grace, and kindness. Thank you, Kathy, for your continued work to support fairminded critical thinking.
