THE JAMES RANDI EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION

The James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF) is a not-for-profit organization that works to combat the paranormal, pseudoscientific, and the supernatural. It was established to help people defend themselves from paranormal and pseudo-scientific claims and stop the growth of charlatans. The JREF offers a million-dollar reward for anyone who can produce evidence of paranormal abilities under controlled conditions. It aims to achieve its goal through scholarships, workshops, and resources for edu... cators. The organization exposes paranormal and pseudo-scientific frauds in the media, and holds media organizations accountable for promoting dangerous nonsense; provides grants and free teaching modules to educators; supports grassroots skeptics groups with tools to help them organize and promote skepticism and critical thinking; digitally publishes the important works of skepticism for distribution on the iPad, Kindle, and other e-readers; and organizes conferences and other gatherings that bring the entire skeptical community together. The James Randi Educational Foundation was founded in 1996 and is based in Falls Church, Virginia.
