Hide Profile

The Southern Education Foundation is the result of the consolidation of four successful foundations: the George Peabody Fund, the John F. Slater Fund, the Negro Rural School Fund, Inc. (also known as the Anna T. Jeanes Foundation), and the Virginia Randolph Fund. Originating in July 1937, and spanning over a fifty year period, the Southern Education Foundation's purpose is to improve the quality of education for African Americans in the South.
