Foundation for the Study of Highly Sensitive Persons

The purpose of the Foundation for the Study of Highly Sensitive Persons is twofold:  

  1. To educate the public about the trait
  2. To fund new research on it 

At the moment, efforts to educate the public will be the making of a film suitable for broad distribution to television networks and film festivals.  Future films might be on highly sensitive children, the effects of sensitivity on close relationships (a research area with which two of the board members are experts), and the ways organizations can best make use of their highly sensitive employees.

The research side will advance an already well-established body of research.  Donations might be used, for example, to fund research expenses for new studies or the analysis of substantial existing data sets (these include laboratory behavioral studies and genetic and neuroimaging data).

To support the Foundation financially, you can use PayPal, below. Or donations can be mailed (no PayPal fees deducted) to

Foundation for the Study of Highly Sensitive Persons
P. O. Box 543
Tiburon, CA 94920

Please indicate on your check whether you want you donation to be used (1) for education, (2) for research, or (3) to allow the Foundation to choose where the funds will be most effective at the time.

Those living in the U.S. will receive a letter for tax purposes verifying this is a contribution to a non-profit organization. Unless we are instructed otherwise, in the case of PayPal contributions, it will be sent to the billing address; and in the case of checks, the letter will be sent to the address on the check.
