The overall objectives of the Foundation are:

  • to develop and conduct education and training programs;
  • to develop new ways to improve the forensic sciences;

In order to meet these objectives, your contribution is needed and will ensure a sound financial basis for the FSF Acorn Research Grant,  the Douglas M. Lucas Research Grant, the Jan Bashinski Criminalistics Thesis Grant, the FSF Travel Grant, the Emerging Forensic Scientist Award, and other FSF-sponsored education programs. There are three options for your contribution:
  • 100% of your contribution can go to the Endowment Fund;
  • 100% of your contribution can go to the FSF General Fund which assists with operating expenses;
  • or your contribution can be divided between the Endowment Fund and the General Fund.
