The Dunn’s Foundation for the Advancement of Right Thinking is a Florida-based foundation run by futures trader William A. Dunn, who maintains tight control over its grants.
It mainly funds free-market, libertarian think tanks and advocacy groups. No grants may be made without Dun's written permission, and upon his death, control will transfer to his wife, Rebecca. It will be dissolved upon both their deaths.
