The Commission Funding series consists of correspondence with the city and private agencies and foundations concerning financial support for the Commission. Also contained in this series are grant proposals, budgets, expenditures, reports to funders, accountant correspondence and grant applications which detail the Commission's project plans. The Subject series contains correspondence, notes, reports, drafts and printed material relating to various aspects of criminal justice, produced and collected for the Commission's use.
