Support Research that Matters
The development of EMDR therapy has been solidly steeped in research from its origin. The EMDR Research Foundation, founded in 2006, is a natural outgrowth of the fundamental research roots of EMDR therapy. In 2018, we recognize that the research in EMDR is a global affair. Research studies advancing our understanding and applications of EMDR are being conducted all over the world, and the results influencing clinical applications of EMDR therapy in every corner of our globe.

Why Your Donations Are So Important
The EMDR Research Foundation is sustained by a small number of annual donors and our Visionary Alliance members. Each year, annual giving provides funds for the coming year’s grants. Each year’s fundraising efforts are a vital step towards creating more opportunities for grants in the future.
Become a Visionary Alliance donor with a monthly pledge of $25. Consider a tribute gift of $25, $250 or $2500 in the name of a loved one, friend or colleague, or simply in the name of EMDR Research. Additionally, this might be the right time for you to consider your planned giving arrangements. There are many options to choose from such as an Endowment Gift, where the funds are used annually in perpetuity or you can name the Foundation as a beneficiary in your Will or Trust. Please visit the Get Involved page of our website to learn how to support us now and well into the future.
