Scope and content:

This subseries contains correspondence, funding proposals, and other materials relating to the Center's efforts to obtain government funding support for its programs. Funding proposals form the bulk of the materials; they are arranged alphabetically by funding agency. With one exception, these funding proposals are known, or appear, to have been unsuccessful: successful proposals can be found with other records of the programs and projects to which they relate in Series 5. The records of the Los Angeles County General Revenue Sharing (GRS) Program constitute the exception. From 1974 to 1977, the Center submitted funding proposals to the GRS Program for virtually every Center program; several of these proposals covered more than one Center program. Whenever possible, successful program proposals are filed with the other records of the programs to which they relate in Series 5; however, when a single successful funding proposal affects two or more Center programs, the proposal is filed here, together with unsuccessful proposals, and general correspondence relating to the GRS Program. The GRS Program general correspondence also includes correspondence, minutes, and other records of the Community Coalition for Equitable Revenue Sharing, a group founded in 1974 by Don Kilhefner, Morris Kight, and others to monitor the distribution of GRS funds by Los Angeles County. Note that Center planners often cannibalized materials from older funding proposals, and several proposals are therefore incomplete, or even fragmentary. In addition, the 1977 proposal for a Comprehensive Program of Community Service to Alcoholic Women and Men (box 6:22) appears to be derived from the 1974 funding proposal for the Alcoholism Program for Women (Series 5, box 9:8-9).
