Abstract
The North Carolina Fund, an independent, non-profit, charitable corporation, sought and dispensed funds to fight poverty in North Carolina, 1963-1968. Governor Terry Sanford and other North Carolinians convinced the Ford Foundation to grant $7 million initial funding for a statewide anti- poverty effort aimed at rural and urban communities. This money--plus additional funding from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation; the Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation; the U.S. Dept. of Labor; U.S. Dept. of Health, Education, and Welfare; U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development; and the Office of Economic Opportunity--enabled the Fund to support a broad program of education, community action, manpower development, research and planning, and other efforts to fight poverty.
Administrative and financial records (about 32,000 items), including policy statements; Board of Directors minutes and other records; correspondence, speeches, and other files of Executive Director George Hyndman Esser (1921- ) and other staff members; records of meetings and conferences; proposals and grants; materials documenting the Fund's relationship with the Ford Foundation, the Office of Economic Opportunity, the Foundation for Community Development, the Low-Income Housing Development Corporation, and other organizations; subject files; clippings, audit reports; and financial correspondence and other financial records. There is also material about Congressmen Jim Gardner and Nick Galiafianakis's 1967 attacks on Fund activities in Durham, N.C., and earlier controversies over political activity of staff members in areas served by Nash-Edgecombe Economic Development and Craven Operation Progress. Other material relates to "How North Carolina Whites and Blacks View: Each Other, Government and Police, Housing, Poverty, Education, and Employment," an opinion poll conducted by Oliver Quayle & Company in 1968. Also included are proposals and grant applications for housing, education, community development, job training, leadership, and rural development programs; the North Carolina Voter Education Project; and proposals from the State of Franklin Health Council, Inc.

Biographical/Historical Note

The North Carolina Fund was incorporated in July 1963 as an independent, non-profit, charitable corporation to seek and dispense funds to attack the cycle of poverty in North Carolina. At the instigation of John Ehle, Governor Terry Sanford had met in New York with representatives of the Ford Foundation, which was funding model anti-poverty programs. Early in 1963, Ford Foundation leaders toured communities in North Carolina and met with leaders of grassroots organizations. After six months of negotiations, the North Carolinians convinced the Ford Foundation to fund its first statewide anti-poverty project, one which would be aimed at rural as well as urban communities. The Ford Foundation provided initial funding of $7 million for a demonstration program, with the condition that the program would be dissolved after five years.

In its five years, the North Carolina Fund received and spent more than $16 million in what director George Hyndman Esser (1921- ) described as a "quest for new ways to enable the poor to become productive citizens, to encourage self-reliance, and to foster institutional, political, economic, and social change designed to strengthen the functioning of democratic society." Funding from the Ford Foundation, the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, the Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation, the U.S. Department of Labor, the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Office of Economic Opportunity enabled the Fund to support a broad program of manpower development, community action, education, research and planning, and other efforts to fight poverty.

The early emphasis of the North Carolina Fund program was on education. Two million dollars of the original Ford Foundation grant went to the state Department of Public Instruction to improve elementary schools. The Fund's focus then shifted to community action and manpower development programs. The Fund supported eleven community action agencies across the state--in the mountains, in the Piedmont, and in coastal counties. Of these, ten are still in operation. Other organizations created under the Fund's aegis included the Foundation for Community Development, the North Carolina Low Income Housing Development Corp., and the Manpower Development Corporation (now known as MDC, Inc.).

An overview of the funds received, the distribution of funds by percentage, and a list of the major programs supported follows:

Collection Overview

Records of the North Carolina Fund, primarily the files of the central office staff, are organized by program. Also included are files of the field offices of the Manpower Improvement Through Community Effort (MITCE) Program.

North Carolina Fund records include those of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee; the Executive Director; the Special Projects, Training, Community Affairs (also known as Community Development, Community Support, and Community Organization), Research, Planning and Program Development, and Public Information departments; programs funded by the North Carolina Fund; and various study committees staffed and supported by the Fund.

Among the programs operated by the North Carolina Fund documented in these records are the North Carolina Volunteers program; training of community action technicians to work in North Carolina and with Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA); a summer internship and curriculum development program; and research on poverty in North Carolina, community problems in areas served by community action programs, the community action process, and manpower and economic development.

Also documented are the eleven community action agencies funded by the North Carolina Fund and the projects they operated. There are also files relating to two grassroots organizations which received financial support from the North Carolina Fund: United Organizations for Community Improvement (UOCI) in Durham and the People's Program on Poverty (PPOP) in the Choanoke area (Northampton, Bertie, Hertford, and Halifax counties). Other programs documented include the Comprehensive School Improvement Project (CSIP), Learning Institute of North Carolina (LINC), Youth Educational Services (YES), community service consultants, Manpower Improvement Through Community Effort (MITCE), Mobility, Manpower Development Corporation (MDC), Foundation for Community Development (FCD), and the Low-Income Housing Development Corporation (LIHDC).

The collection is organized into series that were established by the North Carolina Fund staff. Each series contains the records of a department or function of the North Carolina Fund. Subseries were established during processing. Many of the original file folder titles were retained, but some files were combined, divided, or renamed for clarification purposes during processing. The order of the series and of the files within the series has been changed somewhat in order to put the most general files first and move from the general to the specific. Thus, the first series, Administration, contains the records likely to give the broadest overview of the organization's operation. Most series are organized so that policies, reports, and other documents that show the purpose and scope of the program are placed first, followed by files on specific programs or participants. For Series 4, Community Action Programs, the original order was retained--programs are arranged by geographic location across North Carolina from west to east.

PUBLIC INFORMATION DEPARTMENT SERIES ABSTRACT:

Records (about 9,000 items) of the Public Information Department include files of Billy Barnes and other staff members about Fund press and public relations; assistance to community action programs through public information efforts; and Fund publications, films, slide shows, radio shows, and other efforts. Much of the 1967 correspondence deals with press coverage of attacks on the Fund by Representatives Jim Gardner and Nick Galiafanakis. There are also records of a special project that assembled packets of article reprints on poverty and race and mailed them to community leaders throughout the state. Also included are audiotapes, films, radio show transcripts, film scripts, and of some slide shows. Films include No Hand-Outs for Mrs. Hedgpeth (28-minutes, color, April 1968) on the life of a domestic worker in Durham, N.C.; a film explaining the Fund's program; and a film about the summer anti-poverty work of the 100 North Carolina Volunteers in 1964. In 1967, the Public Information Department produced a weekly radio show, "New Voices in Carolina," and distributed it to 35 North Carolina stations. For each show, John Morgan interviewed people participating in anti-poverty work as clients, staff, or volunteers.

1.2. Executive Director, 1963-1971.

1.2.1. Correspondence, 1963-1971.
About 6,400 items.
Arrangement: chronological.
Letters and memoranda to and from George Hyndman Esser (1921- ), Executive Director of the North Carolina Fund. Beginning in October 1963, in-state correspondence is filed separately from out-of-state correspondence. For 1963 and 1964, there is a separate category of Governor's Office correspondence. The subjects and correspondents in Esser's letters and memos encompass the whole range of the Fund's programs and activities and are closely related to materials found in other series. Although many duplicates have been removed during processing, some duplicates may remain within this series and some items, no doubt, may be found in other series as well. This is particularly true of correspondence about community action agencies, manpower programs, and study committees.
In-state correspondence consists of internal memos to and from North Carolina Fund staff members as well as correspondence with members of the Fund's Board of Directors, state agency heads and staff members, and staff and board members of the eleven community action agencies supported by the Fund.
In addition to correspondence with Governor Terry Sanford, Governor's Office correspondence includes correspondence with his Special Assistants John Ehle, Joel Fleishman, and George Stephens. The 1963 correspondence is primarily concerned with start-up of the North Carolina Fund, publicity for the start-up, relations with the Ford Foundation, and the interest of local people in North Carolina Fund plans. The 1964 correspondence is mostly letters passed on from the Governor's office to the North Carolina Fund concerning people looking for jobs or communities looking for funding.
Out-of-state correspondence is comprised primarily of correspondence with federal and Ford Foundation officials. Among these were Sidney Woolner and Harold Bailin of the Office of Economic Opportunity; Richard Groner of the Office of Manpower Policy, Evaluation and Research; and Paul Ylsivaker of the Ford Foundation. Out-of-state correspondence also includes correspondence with researchers interested in poverty and community action, staff of community action programs in other states, and organizations in which Esser participated, such as the Council of the Southern Mountains, National Association for Community Development, and the Southern Regional Council.
Correspondence, 1969-1971, concerns the dissolution of the North Carolina Fund and reports on its projects and spin-offs. Esser's correspondence, 1969-1971, as Ford Foundation's Program Adviser for the South, is filed in Subseries 1.6.

1.2.2. Gardner File, 1965-1969.
About 500 items.
Arrangement: chronological.
Correspondence and other material kept by George Esser in a confidential file separate from his other correspondence. The name "Gardner file" apparently stems from the fact that much of the material relates to attacks on the North Carolina Fund by Congressman Jim Gardner in the summer of 1967 and the North Carolina Fund's response to those attacks. Not all of the material in these files has to do with Gardner, but most relates to charges of inappropriate political activity by Fund staff.
Earlier files contain material about controversies that arose in two community action agencies in eastern North Carolina--Nash-Edgecombe Economic Development (NEED) and Craven Operation Progress (COP). Esser's responses to charges against Fund staff were sent to Congressman David Henderson, OEO Director Sargent Shriver, and Secretary of Labor Willard Wirtz, as well as to state and local leaders. Also included are a memo, 2 August 1966, from staff member Bill Flowers to Durham attorney Moses Burt of McKissick & Burt, asking for a legal opinion on the political activity of employees of programs funded by loans or grants from the federal government, and Burt's response, 4 August 1966.
Clippings, statements, memos, letters, press releases, and other materials document the charges of Congressman Gardner that members of the staffs of the North Carolina Fund and Operation Breakthrough (OBT), Durham's community action agency, had incited people to violence in July 1967. Gardner's charges followed an incident in which Fund and OBT staff were present at a Durham City Council meeting where poor blacks spoke against the city's housing policies. Rallies and a march on city hall followed the Council's inaction. Controversy centered around Howard Fuller, a community organizer on the OBT staff. Letters of support for Fuller, 25 July 1967, came from union leaders, businessmen, attorneys, ministers, and others, among them Asa Spaulding, Watts Hill Junior, City Councilmen John S. Stewart and C. E. Boulware, A. J. H. Clement III, and H. M. Michaux. A letter, with supporting documents, from North Carolina Attorney General Thomas Wade Bruton, 1 August 1967, informed Esser that the attorney general was investigating charges that the North Carolina Fund had exceeded the authority of its charter. Esser's response and exhibits in support are dated 15 August 1967.
Also included in the Gardner file is correspondence and supporting documentation relating to a U.S. Labor Department review of Manpower Improvement through Community Effort (MITCE) in the fall of 1966.

1.8. Foundation for Community Development (FCD), 1967-1972.
About 2,000 items.
Arrangement: by subject.
Records relating to the Foundation for Community Development (FCD), which was chartered on 10 October 1967 to support economic development and community organization in North Carolina, received an initial grant of $263,838 from the North Carolina Fund, and began operation on 1 December 1967 with a staff of thirteen, all from the North Carolina Fund. Included are minutes of the Board of Directors; proposals to the North Carolina Fund, the Ford Foundation, and the Office of Economic Opportunity; reports; correspondence; materials created by the Foundation; clippings; and materials related to investigations of the Foundation for Community Development in 1969.
Reports include monitoring reports, 1970-1971, sent by the North Carolina Fund's Executive Director, George Esser, and his assistant, Lucy Watkins, to the Ford Foundation; FCD's monthly reports, 1970-1971, to the Ford Foundation; audit reports, 1968-1970; an evaluation report, October 1969, compiled by a team of five outsiders at the request of the North Carolina Fund; and other reports. Correspondence, 1967-1972, is chiefly letters of Nathan Garrett, executive director, and includes reports to the North Carolina Fund in letter form. Other subjects of correspondence are the United Organizations for Community Improvement (UOCI), the People's Program on Poverty (PPOP), funding, audits, monitoring, and controversies involving FCD staff members.
Files on organizations funded by FCD, such as the Greensboro Association of Poor People (GAPP), United Durham, Inc. (UDI), and Malcolm X Liberation University contain lists of board members and other information. Notebooks created by FCD for community organizers include one on community organization, one on publicity, and one on neighborhood councils. There are also files on community development training and a leadership development program.
Clippings, largely 1969-1970, are mostly from Raleigh and Durham newspapers. Many relate to controversies in 1969 involving FCD staff members Howard Fuller and James S. Lee. A clipping in 1970 reported that the Ford Foundation had awarded a grant of $540,000 to FCD for economic development, leadership training, legal and social research, and not for community organization.
Records relating to investigations of FCD in 1969 contain a transcript of hearings, 10 July 1969, before the U.S. Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, as well as material about the Ford Foundation's investigations of allegations of involvement of FCD staff in incidents of student unrest at North Carolina A & T State University in Greensboro.

Arrangement: by organization.
Correspondence, proposals, reports, newsletters, and other materials from organizations other than those funding the North Carolina Fund or funded by the North Carolina Fund. Included is substantial material from the Council of the Southern Mountains, the Mississippi Research and Development Center, the National Association for Community Development, the North Carolina State Board of Public Welfare, the North Carolina State Board of Higher Education, the Regional Education Laboratory for the Carolinas and Virginia, the Southern Regional Council, the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, and various urban action agencies, as well as small amounts of material from other organizations such as the Foundations Group, the International City Managers Association, the Model Cities program, the North Carolina State Technical Action Panel of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, the Southern Education Reporting Service, and others.
The nature of the material for each organization varies with the relationship of the Fund or Fund staff to the organization. The organizations for which there is the most material are those in which Fund director George Hyndman Esser (1921- ) played an active role. As a member of the Board of Directors of the Council of the Southern Mountains, for example, Esser corresponded with Executive Director (later General Chairman) Perley F. Ayer and Associate Director (later Executive Director) Loyal Jones and others and received minutes of board of directors meetings, memoranda to the Board, and proposals and reports about projects, especially the Council's Talent Recruitment, Technical Assistance, and Training grant. Newsletters, reports, and correspondence with Executive Directors Wallace Edgerton and D. Richard Wenner document Esser's tenure as a Board member of the National Association for Community Development (NACD). The Southern Regional Council (SRC) material here seems to have come primarily from Esser's participation in a Ford Foundation Review of the Council in January 1968. Included here are reports from the Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Houston Councils on Human Relations; annual reports of the Southern Regional Council for 1965, 1966, and 1967; audit reports, budgets; other reports; and publications of the SRC's Voter Education Project.
It is often not possible to determine exactly what the relationship was between the Fund and the other organization. In the case of the Mississippi Research and Development Center, the presence of a proposal to the Ford Foundation indicates that the connection was through the Foundation. Proposals, reports, and newsletters from the Mississippi Research and Development Center describe its program of human and economic resource development for the Mississippi Delta.
Newsletters, reports and memos from the North Carolina State Board of Higher Education include a study of university status for East Carolina College and a report on desegregation of North Carolina colleges and universities and the appropriate role for traditionally black institutions. Supporting material for its 25 September 1968 meeting, including discussion of medical assistance payments to mental hospitals, public assistance policies, and its legislative program for the 1969 General Assembly, comprise the bulk of the North Carolina State Board of Public Welfare material.

2. Volunteer Programs, 1963-1968.

About 14,000 items.
Arrangement: by program.
Records of the volunteer programs are primarily the files of the North Carolina Volunteers program, which operated in 1964 and 1965. They include information about the volunteers, daily logs of volunteers, reports from volunteers, and correspondence of staff and volunteers. Also included are files relating to Youth Educational Services (YES), a study of women volunteers in North Carolina, the establishment of an Outward Bound school in North Carolina, and other projects.
Note that original file folder titles and original folder order have, for the most part, been retained.

2.1.1. Correspondence, 1963-1966.
About 1,000 items.
Arrangement: chronological.
Letters and memos to and from North Carolina Fund staff involved in organizing and running the North Carolina Volunteers (NCV) program. The bulk of the correspondence relates to speaking engagements of staff, funding for the volunteer programs, helping college groups organize tutoring programs, and recruitment and selection of volunteers. Early correspondence is primarily about speaking engagements of Jim Beatty, the first director of the North Carolina Volunteers. Curtis Gans, assistant director, corresponded with numerous people about recruitment and selection of the 1964 volunteers. Also included is correspondence of Jack P. Mansfield, Director of Volunteer Services and later Director of Special Projects for the North Carolina Fund. Later staff included Bill Harriss and Frank Rush. In a memo to Mansfield, 5 February 1965, Bill Darity expressed his concern that all teams of volunteers should be integrated and that the supervisory staff should be interracial. An undated memo (probably 1965) describes an incident in which volunteers in Craven County were shot at. The latest correspondence is about the end of the volunteer program and reassignment of staff.

2.1.3. Summer 1965 (RESTRICTED), 1965.
About 9,000 items.
Arrangement: by function.
RESTRICTED: In order to protect the privacy of volunteers, applicants to the volunteer programs, team directors, and clients of the volunteer program, researchers who wish to use files containing information about these people must agree not to identify them in the products of research without written permission from the subjects.
Records of the North Carolina Volunteers program in the summer of 1965, including proposals, financial information, staff reports, a report to the Office of Economic Opportunity, public relations material, materials relating to conferences of volunteers, applications from communities desiring volunteers, completed questionnaires from representatives of agencies where volunteers were placed, weekly volunteer team reports, volunteer team newsletters, team directors' reports and logs, applications from prospective volunteers, daily logs of volunteers, and questionnaires completed by volunteers.
The questionnaires completed by volunteers contain multiple choice and short answer questions about the volunteers' personalities and attitudes and about their experiences as volunteers. The order of administration of the last three questionnaires was apparently changed after they were printed. The questionnaires administered seventh and housed in folders labeled Questionnaire VII are titled QUESTIONNAIRE VIII; those administered eighth and placed in folders labeled Questionnaire VIII are titled QUESTIONNAIRE IX; and those given ninth and placed in folders labeled Questionnaire IX are titled QUESTIONNAIRE VII.
