Prof Barry Cooper at University of Calgary "established the Science Education Fund. Donations were made by 'we don't know who' to the Calgary Foundation. Its donors are kept anonymous, but they do get tax receipts. The Calgary Foundation then donated to the Science Education Fund, which then paid the costs incurred by the Friends of Science, more than $200,000 was provided over 2 years."
