Brief Introduction

This website is the home of The Goodis Center for Research and Reform, LLC, a conglomeration of past projects of Robert Goodis' including those that had previously been dubbed Robert Goodis Charities (2006-2007), the Robert Goodis Foundation (2007-present), the Mason-Dixon Darfur Alliance (2005-2006), and more.  This website also includes information about Robert Goodis himself and pages related to some of his non-charity interests.

The Goodis Center for Research and Reform, LLC was officially organized in New York State in October of 2009.  The group is still in the process of preparing specific business documents for public viewing.  In the meanwhile, the basic interim purpose of The Goodis Center is to continue all past charitable projects conducted by Robert Goodis as well as to organize research and publications on relevant topics.  Our forthcoming interdisciplinary journal, The Journal for Human Advancement, will be available online and in print starting sometime in 2010.

A brief message from the Director:

While I am aware that broadening the scope of my website may suggest some lack of professionalism, I would like to assure my patrons and new guests that the RobertGoodis|Foundation is as professional as ever.  In addition to being better able to serve the community and to help me express myself and my goals in this field, the new website will continue some past traditions and will allow improved efficiency as a site and community resource:

• Continued membership in the Pennsylvania Association of Non-Profit Organizations (PANO)
  
• Sections dedicated to charitable efforts, including fundraisers and awareness programs
• Improved accessibility and a more user-friendly format
