The W Foundation was founded in 2002 by Kenneth G. Winans and Deborah A. Wreyford. A 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to public education on the history of space exploration and financial literacy through public exhibits of their collection.

Many of these unique artifacts are on permanent display in the Bay Area at the USS Hornet Museum, Chabot Space & Science Center. Since 2013, it has operated The Space Station Museum in Novato, CA.
