The Lisa McPherson Trust was an organisation created in 1999 by Bob Minton.[1] The trust was named after Lisa McPherson, a Scientology member who died in 1995 after being in the Church of Scientology’s care for 17 days. Their stated goal was to "expose the deceptive and abusive practices of Scientology and help those victimized by [the Church of Scientology]."[2]

Of the five staff members at the Lisa McPherson trust, four were former members of Scientology.[3]
