Summary:
Fund raising files include the organizational records of fund-raising events, funding campaigns and membership drive materials, and applications and correspondence to foundations, corporations, and federal and state funding agencies. During the 1950s-1970s annual events included community bazaars, Ebony Fashion Fairs, and the Star Showcase starring such performers as Marion Anderson, Pearl Bailey, Nina Simone, and Cab Calloway.
