The Richard Lounsbery Foundation is a philanthropic organisation which "aims to enhance national strengths in science and technology" (in the United States) by supporting research projects, science education and key scientific policy issues through seed money or partial support. It "aims to achieve high impact by funding novel projects and forward-looking leaders." It was set up with Richard Lounsbery's family's wealth. David Abshire serves as both a director of the foundation, and as president of the foundation's staff.
The foundation has funded the Global warming skeptic Fred Singer, as well as the Misplaced Pages Foundation (of whom it is the largest donator to). It has also been listed as one of the top conservative funders of colleges in the United States.
