About This Book
The Russell Sage Foundation began to publish compilations of bibliographies and directories of American foundations in 1915. This 1946 volume is an outgrowth of the foundation’s early reference work. In addition to listing and describing foundations, this book discusses their history, organization, resources, fields of activity, and general trends useful to foundation boards and the general public alike. It contains a descriptive directory of 505 foundations.
Shelby M. Harrison was general director of the Russell Sage Foundation.
