Financial/Funding, 1967-1991

This series highlights NFPB's finances through correspondence to and from Frances Schuman, Duncan MacDonald, and Eli Evans of the Carnegie Corporation; accounting/financial records; funding proposals; and financial statements. It is subdivided into two major clusters of documents. The first grouping relates to the early funding for NFPB and also includes some materials regarding fund raising for Channel 13 in New York. The second subdivision documents NFPB's later income and expenses, particularly concerning the annual conferences. The attainment of funding during the first three years of the group's existence, attempts to influence federal legislation to provide more funding for public broadcasting, the tax status of NFPB, budgets, the raising of additional or new funds, and requests to specific foundations are the most important issues covered in this series.
