Abstract:

Records of the Stern Fund, a philanthropic foundation established by Edgar and Edith Stern in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1936. In its early years, the Fund mainly supported New Orleans organizations, especially those related to the arts and the education of African Americans. Later, the Fund touched a wide variety of groups and projects, particularly fledgling organizations working for social change. The bulk of the collection consists of grant files and documents applicants to the foundation's funding programs.
