Education Got $572-Million
iri 1966, Survey Shows
By GENE CURRIVAN
Education received grants of
$572-million last year from the
nation's major foundations, the
Russell Sage Foundation . re-
ported yesterday. ?
The total grants in 1966 by
6,300 foundations studied by ? t
Russell Sage Foundation came
to $1.2-billion. Grants to edu-
cation were slightly less than
shown in a similar survey three
years ago, but education still
headed the list followed by wel-
fare, international activities,
health, sciences, religion and the
humanities.
There was a considerable in-
crease. in grants for interna-
tional affairs, but aid to the
physical sciences, which have
been?heavily subsidized by ?Gov-
ernment agencies, dropped from
$18,-million to $5-million in the
three years.
The- controversial aid from
the 'Central Intelligence
Agency, made in the forme .of
grants channeled through foun-
dations for undercover govern-
ment work, ? were , hardly men-
tioned in the study.
F. Emerson Andrews, 'presi-
dent of the Foundation Library
Center,. for which the report
was issued, dismissed the C.I.A.
grants as "insignificant."
The report was included in
"The Foundation Directory" an
1,198-page survey of the founda-
tions and their backgrounds. It
is the third of a series, which
started in 1960.
The center is an Independent
educational institution estab-
lished in 1956 -"to collect,' Or-
ganize and make, available' to
the public , reports- and informa-
tion.-about ?foundations." It has
ofLces? at 440 Madison AvenUe
and at 1001 Connecticut Avenue.
N. W., Washington.
Among the largest educa-
tional grants in 1966 were $50-
million by the Ford Foundation
to 60 colleag,es and $6-million
to the National Educational Tel-
evision and Radio Center in
New York; $1,511,000 by the
Kellogg Foundation to Colum-
bia University for continuing
education, and $1.500-million by
the Carnegie Foundation to the
College Entrance Examination
Board for research ,on a na-
tional :system of college level
examinations.
The report .noted.. that. '"the
most startling change" in the
flow of b.-rants was in interna-
from $33-million, or 5 per cent
of the total grants in 1960, to
$1:70-million. or 14 per cent.
Much of this went to American
universities for studies or for
the support of foreign students
here, but there was also a. sharp
increase ?in foundation aid to
organizations abroad, the report,
said. .
The 'Foundation Library Cen-
ter listed 6,803 foundations with
asets over $200,000, but has in
its files data on 17,303.
The current survey was fi-
nanced by the Carnegie Foun-
dation of New' Yerk,?the W.K.
Kellogg, Rockefeller, ? Russell
Sage and the Alfred P. Sloan
Foundations.
The report listed direct grants
to education as $418-million but
added to this $151-million that
had been included for educa-
tional purposes in other cate-
gories?for example, $90-million
in international activities, $10-
million in the ?humanities, ? $50-
million in the sciences, and $4-
million in religion. ?
The total amounts for all ca-
tegories were education, $418
million (not including the re-
lated categories); welfare, $196.;
million; international activities,'
$170-million; .health,
lion; sciences, $120-million; re-
ligion, $107-million; and human-
ities, ? ???
