This research was supported by grants from the Hoffman Institute, The Donner Canadian Foundation, and the Mental Insight Foundation. However, the investigators were independent researchers with no financial interest in the Hoffman Institute or its operation.
Interesting that the Donner Canadian Foundation was a major funder of this study. This is the Canadian sibling/twin of the American William H. Donner Foundation. Apparently, William Donner left the United States for Canada in 1958 ... due to a dispute with the IRS regarding his taxes.

Some readers may recall that the William H. Donner Foundation contributed $51,750 to Hyde Leadership Public Charter School of Washington, DC in 1999, and $275,000 to the Hyde boarding schools split into four payments during the years 2001-2005. The total contributions may well be more. I'm afraid I've been unable to find more recent data than 2005.
