  • Mission Statement
    To encourage everyone to learn about and enjoy the fascination of dinosaurs, and to support the work of people engaged in forwarding the science of palaeontology. The goals of this society are as follows::
    • Advance the education of the general public in the scientific aspects of dinosaurs, palaeontology and earth science generally.
    • Support interpretative displays, travelling and permanent exhibitions and educational projects.
    • Help fund palaeontological activity.
    • Raise awareness and spread the profile of the science of palaeontology.
• The Jurassic Foundation, founded in 1998, is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing funding for research on dinosaur paleobiology. The Foundation awards modest research grants to qualified applicants from all over the world. The grant program is overseen by a Scientific Board of Directors consisting of four professional dinosaur paleontolgists. Funding for the Jurassic Foundation is derived primarily from donations provided by Amblin Entertainment and Universal Studios.
• The Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. Official site of the SVP. Founded in 1940, the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology is organized exclusively for educational and scientific purposes. The object of the Society is to advance the science of vertebrate paleontology and to serve the common interests and facilitate the cooperation of all persons concerned with the history, evolution, comparative anatomy and taxonomy of vertebrate animals, as well as field occurrence, collection and study of fossils vertebrates and the stratigraphy of the beds in which they are found.

• Big Horn Basin Foundation. The Big Horn Basin Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to geologic and paleontologic research and education. Their goals are:
  To provide an active, living resource and training ground for today's scientists and educators as well as those of tomorrow. To discover, preserve, study and interpret our geologic and paleontologic history, including geology and fossil life, with an emphasis on dinosaurs. To expand the body of knowledge and information of prehistory of earth
