Payne Fund, Inc.

Charitable fund which grew out of the National Committee for the Study of Juvenile Reading (founded in 1925 by Frances Payne Bolton). The fund initially supported studies and experiments on the needs of youth, focusing especially on children's literature and the effects of movies and radio on the values of children, and the development of radio as an educational tool. In addition to its support of various programs involving youth, the fund expanded its interests to include support for medical education and interracial cooperation.
