Why we support APF: Kurt Geisinger, PhD, and
Janet Carlson, PhD, University of Nebraska–Lincoln

“We believe psychology has a unique role in benefiting humankind. We also believe education serves as a supportive ladder that enables people to climb and better themselves. APF provides funds both to enhance the future of psychology and to aid individuals in taking steps up the educational ladder. Moreover, our gifts permit us to memorialize psychologists and others who have had significant roles in our lives, be they family, friends or colleagues. Contributing to APF is one way to leave the world a bit better than we found it.”
