Parapsychology Foundation
The Parapsychology Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in 1951 by the medium Eileen J. Garrett and Frances Payne Bolton, Ohio's first female representative in Congress.[1][2] The foundation is based in New York. They offer grants and scholarships to those undertaking study in the paranormal.[1][3] The organization also founded the Eileen J. Garrett Library, which eventually made its way to Greenport, Suffolk County, New York.[2] The contents of library have since been moved to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and have become the Eileen J. Garrett Parapsychology Foundation collection.[4]
Garrett claimed to be a medium and founded the organization with the explicit purpose of scientifically proving the existence of the soul.[5]
The current Executive Administrator is Anastasia Damalas. Lisette Coly, granddaughter of Garrett, is Foundation President.[4][1][3] At one point the organization owned a conference center in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France and has subsequently hosted numerous conferences.[6] At their New York headquarters, they host numerous lecture series.[7] As of 2001 the organization had 200 active researchers.[2] The organization publishes the International Journal of Parapsychology.[3][7]
