The American Psychological Foundation was established in 1953 by six psychologists, initially with a budget of $580.[3] One of the APF's founders was Joseph McVicker Hunt, who went on to serve as its first president.[4] Other past presidents of the foundation include Dorothy Cantor, who oversaw the initiation of two major fundraising campaigns: the Campaign for a New Era in 2000, and the Campaign to Transform the Future in 2012.[3][5] Cantor was replaced by Terence M. Keane in 2017.[6]
