Make a Conditional Pledge
We have already collected many pledges of considerable amounts from substantial donors worldwide. The payments of these pledges are conditioned on the success of The Victory Project and the submission of a cure / solution for our Problems.
This means that, true to the concept of The Victory Project, donors would only be expected to fulfill their contribution pledge if and when this unique new approach works.
These can be funds you intend to donate personally when the cure / solution is found, or funds that you pledge to solicit and submit on our behalf. Pledges will be due within 60 days of the Review Board certifying an Award.
For more information or to make a pledge, please send us an email at info@deweyfoundation.org.

Gifts in memory of a family member or friend, in honor of an individual or in recognition of a special occasion express what words alone cannot and provide important support for innovation and progress. Please make your check payable to The Dewey Foundation and note the name of the person you would like to honor. It is our policy to notify the honoree's family that a gift is made. Please include the family's name and address if you would like us to do so.
