QUery On Inc. (QUOI) was founded in 2008 to further research into issues of societal importance. Its competitively-awarded grants have supported academic researchers and other investigators addressing issues of broad concern. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable corporation, QUOI has been funded by the tax-deductible contributions of its founders.  It has, since 2019, focused especially on the gargantuan and lamentably-largely-unknown influence of money in American politics and on governmental policies.
