| Abstract: | The United Black Fund of Greater Cleveland was founded in 1981 in Cleveland, Ohio, to fund organizations that serve African Americans, the poor, and minorities that are underserved in Cleveland's philanthropic and charitable sector. The United Black Fund accumulates and allocates funds to alleviate suffering, poverty and illiteracy. It also seeks to strengthen the tradition of charitable giving among African Americans to promote economic self sufficiency. The collection consists of agendas, annual reports, audit reports, board of trustee minutes, bylaws, correspondence, programs, invitations, financial documents, and newsletters. | |
