Help us fund one year of human factors science communication

The Human Factors Cast Foundation exists to make human factors science easier to understand, easier to use, and easier to talk about.

Human factors sits at the intersection of psychology, engineering, ergonomics, design, safety, technology, and everyday life. It explains why systems work for people, why they fail, and how we can make them better.

But too often, this work stays inside conferences, journals, classrooms, and professional circles.

We want to change that.

The Human Factors Cast Foundation advances public understanding of human factors science through research, media, education, and community programs. We create accessible content, support public education, experiment with new communication formats, and build spaces where practitioners, students, researchers, designers, educators, and curious people can learn together.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 to cover one year of core operating revenue.

This funding helps us keep the Foundation stable while we build programs that can last.

What your donation supports

Your donation helps cover the practical costs behind the work:

Podcast and media production
Website hosting and digital tools
Research-informed communication projects
Educational resources and public-facing explainers
Community programming and events
Volunteer coordination and contributor support
Nonprofit operations, administration, and compliance
Software, production, and distribution costs

This is not a one-off project fund. This is operating support.

That means your donation helps keep the lights on, the tools running, the content moving, and the Foundation ready to grow.

Why this matters

Human factors science helps people understand the systems they use every day: healthcare systems, workplaces, software, transportation, public services, safety systems, consumer technology, and more.

When people understand how human-technology systems shape their lives, they can ask better questions. They can make better decisions. They can design better tools. They can build safer, more usable, more accessible systems.

The Foundation’s work is grounded in scientific integrity, public education, accessibility, experimentation, community, transparency, and sustainable growth.

We translate human factors science without watering it down.

We make complex ideas clear without stripping away their meaning.

We bring human factors out of the lab, out of the conference room, and into everyday life.

Our $10,000 goal

Raising $10,000 gives the Human Factors Cast Foundation a year of operating runway.

That runway gives us time and stability to:

Continue producing accessible human factors media
Support the Human Factors Cast Digital Media Lab
Build public education resources
Test new communication formats
Grow our community programs
Create a stronger foundation for future funding, grants, sponsors, and partnerships

Every donation helps.

A $10 gift helps cover digital tools.
A $25 gift supports public education resources.
A $50 gift helps fund media production.
A $100 gift supports community programming.
A $250 gift helps sustain Foundation operations.
A $500+ gift helps build the runway for long-term growth.

If you believe human factors science should be easier to understand, easier to share, and easier to apply, please donate and share this campaign.

Help us fund a year of work that makes human factors science accessible, practical, and part of everyday life.
