The Heinlein Society was founded in 2000 with the assistance of Robert Heinlein's widow, Virginia Heinlein, after a suggestion by William Patterson at WesterCon in 1998 met with an enthusiastic response. The Heinlein Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation established in Texas.[2][3][4] The "semi-scholarly" society exists to "preserve the legacy of renowned writer Robert Anson Heinlein left"; according to it, it accomplishes this through promoting "Heinlein blood drives", distributing copies of Heinlein's works to U.S. military personnel, awarding scholarships, and promoting scholarly research on Heinlein.[5][6] The society also sponsors the Robert A. Heinlein Award.[7]
In 2016 the organization paid for a bronze bust of Heinlein for display in the Missouri State Capitol, following the author's induction into the Hall of Famous Missourians.[8]
