This subseries consists of correspondence, grant proposals, and other materials documenting the Center's efforts to raise funds from private foundations. With the exception of unsuccessful funding proposals to the Erickson Educational Fund in 1973 and to the Los Angeles Bicentennial in 1979, the materials derive from an intensive drive from late 1975 through early 1977, directed by Major Kenneth MacLeod, to obtain foundation support. While the drive resulted in invitations from several foundations to submit proposals, none of these proposals was ultimately successful.
