As a small non-profit organization, we rely on your generosity and involvement. Our mission, "Better Behavioral Science for a More Humane World," inspires us to share knowledge that promotes this goal.  Through our active community, established website, quarterly magazine Operants, extensive archives, and publishing efforts, we aim to advance behavioral science.

Skinner from the 1970s.  📔 Operants Magazine: Our quarterly magazine, Operants, continues to be a complementary, ad-free resource for all subscribers. Written in an engaging and accessible manner, it is available electronically through our website. 💻 💿 Archival Project: We launched an ambitious archival project, working with professional archivists to categorize Skinner’s correspondences, manuscripts, gadgets, and multimedia. Our goal is to centralize these materials in a Digital Assets Management system for universal access. 🆘 It's our Mid-Year Drive - "Reflections": As we reflect on our progress, we invite you to join us in our Mid-Year Drive. 👐 Become an Institutional Donor: As an institutional donor, you will receive benefits such as invitations to exclusive events and recognition on our website and social media (30K audience).
