Donorship – Contributing to the Creative Education Foundation
You are invited to play an important role in strengthening the Creative Education Foundation and ensuring its vitality into the future. CEF founder Alex Osborn knew it 60 years ago and social commentators know it today – imagination and ideas are the social capital that grows economies, integrates differences and changes individuals. Because of your interest and involvement in creativity, you know that ideas can transform the world.
For more than 50 years, CEF has been the centre of Applied Imagination. To continue developing high-quality creativity programs for the next 50 years, CEF needs your support through contributions and giving.

There is a global urgency for deliberate creativity – whether it’s the 9/11 Commission citing the intelligence community’s “failure of imagination,” the head of GE calling for innovation to enable continual corporate growth, a political pundit pointing out the “war of ideas” between differing groups, or an urban planner advocating for creative communities. As the oldest creativity organization in the world, CEF educates people for leadership in applying their imagination in these arenas.
In addition to its annual CPSI conference and its leading creativity research publication, The Journal of Creative Behavior, CEF’s most important means of support is through its memberships and financial giving. Creativity practitioners often feel like a “minority of one.” But through your donorship, you help us grow the worldwide network of creativity supporters like you, develop and grow educational creativity programs for you to participate in, advocate for the value of creativity in society, and partner with others like you who share a common mission to advance the field of creativity.
In addition to the endowment drive, we need to add new general contributors to our organization. Here’s where to start: Click here to give a donation of support ... and play an important role in strengthening CEF and ensuring its future vitality. Please support us today ...
