"The VPC has no official membership fee, relying on donations from the public and foundation support. The primary foundation donor to the VPC is the Joyce Foundation.[4] The VPC publicizes its research through the news media and through coalitions with other advocacy organizations." [en.wikipedia.org]
"The Joyce Foundation was established in 1948 by Beatrice Joyce Kean of Chicago.[4] She was the sole heir of David Joyce, a lumber executive and industrialist from Clinton, Iowa. The family wealth came from the lumber industry, including family-owned timberlands, plywood and saw mills, and wholesale and retail building material distribution facilities located in the Midwest, Louisiana, and Texas. The Foundation was modestly endowed until Kean's death in 1972, when she bequeathed it nearly $100 million.[5][6]
The Joyce Foundation is one of the few private foundations that considers gun-related research proposals.[12] Joyce distributes grants designed to prevent gun violence by reducing the easy accessibility of firearms.[13][14] Since 1993, the Joyce Foundation spent over $54 million on over 100 grants that favor gun control.[15]" [en.wikipedia.org]
