Edgar J. Kaufmann Charitable Trust records, 1936-1987 [manuscript]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/765335554

The Edgar J. Kaufmann Charitable Foundation records are housed in twenty archival boxes and are arranged into three series. Series have been designated for administrative materials, grant files, and personal papers. These records include correspondence, meeting minutes, financial materials, various grant proposals, and other sundry items. These records provide comprehensive information on a variety of topics both locally and nationally including cultural and civic development, arts and education and general social welfare work. The early Charitable Trust records are limited and primarily document donations given to charitable causes in Pittsburgh while the Charitable Foundation records are more comprehensive and document donations given internationally. The administrative records detail the operation and organization of the Foundation while the grant files document the size of each donation and usually detail information about the organizations receiving support. The personal papers include some papers from Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., but primarily consist of the papers of Oliver M. Kaufmann and would serve as a good source for those studying his involvement with the international business community and his charitable work including the Y-IKC and Montefiore Hospital.
