FUFOR, the Fund for UFO Research, was established as a nonprofit corporation in the District of Columbia on August 1, 1979. FUFOR is not a membership organization per se. Instead, it raises and disperses research funds for proposals approved by a national board. Each year, the Fund also awards a cash prize, the Donald E. Keyhoe Journalism Award, to both the print and electronic media journalist whose work about UFOs is judged the best among those submitted. FUFOR also issues a number of reports and monographs each year, the sales of which support future UFO research projects. For further information, or an application for the Fund's journalism award, write the Fund for UFO Research, PO Box 227, Mount Rainier, Maryland 20712.

The UFO Research Coalition is a collaborative effort by the three main UFO investigative organizations in this country. Its goal is to share personnel and other research resources, and to fund and promote the scientific study of the UFO phenomenon. The coalition's members are MUFON, CUFOS and FUFOR, the Fund for UFO Research.
