The Mensa Foundation

Founded in 1971 to pursue excellence in the study and use of intelligence, the Mensa Education & Research Foundation is the nonprofit, philanthropic arm of American Mensa and Mensa International. Its mission and strategic focus are directed at scholarships, education and awards.

Each year the Mensa Foundation publishes at least three issues of the Mensa Research Journal, gives away an average of $60,000 through a scholarship program run by 400 volunteers from coast to coast, and presents national and international awards in recognition of research, education and practical achievement regarding intelligence and creativity. The Mensa Foundation also sponsors award-winning educational activities including the podcast series Conversations with Mensa and projects for gifted children such as the Mensa For Kids Web site.
