American Foundations: Roles and Contributions

Appendix B and C

405 Appendix B: Cleaning the Foundations Data Set for Chapter 3 To clean the data set for chapter 3, we began with the Foundation Center’s data set of 124,844 grants for 2000–01. From this set, we focused only on grants whose primary purpose codes fell in the education category (that is, National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities codes beginning with B). Of the 25,591 grants in education, we then cut out grants to non-U.S. recipients (grants to recipients in Guam and Puerto Rico remained in the data set) and grants whose primary purpose codes were not related to K–12 education (that is, related to college, graduate, professional , or adult education). Several primary purpose codes included both K–12 and higher education grants: Alliances and advocacy, Education management/ technical aid, Education association, Education administration/regulation, Education research, Education public policy, Education single organization support, Education fund raising, Education equal rights, Education information services, Education public education, Education volunteer services, Education government agencies, Early childhood education, Child development education, Education bilingual programs, Education ESL programs, Libraries/library science, Libraries (school), Scholarships/financial aid, Student services & organizations, Education alumni groups, Education services, Drop-out prevention, Reading, Education testing, and Education community/cooperative. For these categories, we included only those grants with a secondary grant purpose code of Elementary /secondary education, Elementary school/education, Secondary school/education , or Elementary/secondary school reform. The resulting data set contained ninety-three hundred grants, accounting for a total of $1,299,787,644. 406 Appendix C: Descriptive Information The Civil Rights and Social Action Sector, 2001 Issue focus (NTEE code) Total funding (dollars) a Mean funding (dollars) Median funding (dollars) Number of grants a Share operating grants (percent) Civil rights infrastructure Civil rights, alliance (R01) 4,052,254 (1.17) 66,430 50,000 61 (1.76) 13.9 Civil rights, management/technical aid (R02) 3,637,967 (1.05) 93,281 41,643 39 (1.13) 19.6 Civil rights, association (R03) 40,000 (0.01) 13,333 10,000 3 (0.09) 75.0 Civil rights, research (R05) 575,000 (0.17) 57,500 47,500 10 (0.29) 20.9 Civil rights, public policy (R06) 1,823,608 (0.53) 95,979 50,000 19 (0.55) 49.1 Civil rights, single organization support (R11) 684,130 (0.20) 42,758 25,000 16 (0.46) 56.7 Civil rights, fund raising (R12) 765,000 (0.22) 85,000 25,000 9 (0.26) 32.7 Civil rights, information services (R14) 585,000 (0.17) 65,000 50,000 9 (0.26) 14.5 Civil rights, public education (R15) 4,603,562 (1.33) 97,948 40,000 47 (1.36) 24.1 Civil rights advocacy Civil rights, equal rights (R13) 2,715,950 (0.78) 123,452 45,000 22 (0.64) 7.4 Civil rights, advocacy (R20) 40,580,218 (11.71) 87,646 30,000 463 (13.39) 18.5 Civil rights (R99) 260,000 (0.08) 65,000 22,500 4 (0.12) 5.8 Minority rights Civil rights, minorities (R22) 53,264,014 (15.37) 119,159 35,000 447 (12.93) 12.4 Immigrant rights Civil rights, immigrants (R21) 16,562,558 (4.78) 67,055 40,000 247 (7.14) 14.5 Voter education Voter education/rights (R40) 14,478,303 (4.18) 108,859 25,000 133 (3.85) 7.4 407 Racial and intergroup relations Race/intergroup relations (R30) 64,082,309 (18.50) 104,369 33,233 614 (17.76) 6.5 Group-specific rights Civil rights, disabled (R23) 6,693,790 (1.93) 66,938 30,000 100 (2.89) 15.8 Civil rights, aging (R25) 4,143,440 (1.20) 96,359 50,000 43 (1.24) 5.1 Civil rights, gays/lesbians (R26) 7,201,750 (2.08) 50,362 25,000 143 (4.14) 28.0 Patients’ rights (R27) 3,301,588 (0.95) 143,547 45,000 23 (0.67) 0.3 Women’s rights Civil rights, women (R24) 27,921,015 (8.06) 81,402 35,000 343 (9.92) 16.4 Reproductive rights Reproductive rights (R61) 51,006,498 (14.72) 180,874 50,000 282 (8.16) 21.2 Civil liberties Civil liberties, advocacy (R60) 7,367,749 (2.13) 73,677 30,000 100 (2.89) 29.0 Civil liberties, right to life (R62) 1,024...
