The Twenty-First Century Foundation Records encompass administrative records consisting of minutes of board of directors meetings, directors' reports, committee records, legal correspondence and financial records; general correspondence relating to fundraising for the Foundation, proposals submitted for funding, and general administrative functions. In addition, there are files for an Achievement Awards Dinner held in 1977. The bulk of the collection consists of complete files for 125 grant recipients and notifications to unsuccessful applicants. The files for these small, black controlled, often grassroots organizations are a significant resource of research material detailing the primary purpose of the organization and may be the only source of information for some organizations. The material for the Clarence L. Holte Prize contains biographical information about all nominees, and correspondence with jurors. Information regarding recipients includes press releases, news clippings, and material pertaining to the awards ceremony.
