Summary:
This series documents the involvement of the Boston Persistent Poverty Project with both local and national organizations. Local groups were often involved in data-gathering or data analysis for the Project or with publicizing the results of the Project's work. Larger national organizations, like the Annie E. Casey Foundation or the Urban Institute, gave grant funds to the Project and involved the Project in their own poverty initiatives via subcontracting or data-sharing. This series includes material from La Alianza Hispana, Associated Grantmakers of Massachusetts, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the Rockefeller Foundation's Community Planning and Action Program. Records include conference packets, correspondence, newsletters, concept papers, reports, newspaper clippings, surveys, meeting minutes, and agendas.
