NEW YORK, N.Y.The Rockefeller Foundation recently awarded a grant of $500,000 to the NAACP Special Contribution Fund for the support of the civil rights organization’s legal department’s school desegregation program, and the organization’s general work in the labor movement. The joint announcement of the major grant was made by NAACP executive director Benjamin Hooks, and Dr. John H. Knowles, Rockefeller Foundation president. Both explained the grant will be awarded in four installments, consisting of $125,000 each year from 1977 to 1980. Dr. Knowles said that the foundation regards its commitment to the achievement of racial justice as “essential” to the betterment of American society as a whole. The Rockefeller grant makes the foundation, along with the continuing suport from the Ford Foundation and Carnegie Corporation fund programs primary supporters of the NAACP Special Contribution Fund. The Rockefeller Foundation has provided nearly $2 million for these types of programs since 1969. According to Rockefeller Foundation records, funds from the foundation which have been ■awarded to the NAACP, have increased just about each year, and reportedly, well over $500,000 has gone towards school desegregation litigation in the Northwestern portion of the United States since the initial grants were awarded in 1969. This newest grant is figured to have an enormous impact on two of the most critical areas in civil rights struggle, employment and senool desegregation. Hooks noted that the present unemployment rate is considerably * high-with twice as many blacks as whites now being jobless. Synonymous to the critical black unemployment issue is the fact that black teen-age unemployment is now at an all-time high. NAACP officials claim the objectives of the grant will enable the organization to sustain its attacks on various levels of educational deprivations and unemployment of young blacks. Hooks further praised the Rockefeller Foundation for its continued support of the NAACP Special Contribution Fund, noting, this institution “is among the relatively small few which have addressed themselves to the problem of racial, social and economic injustice in the nation.” Contrasting the significance of the grant is the fact that a great majority of America’s 26,000 foundations give little or no support to civil rights or social development groups. A

recent study by the Rockefeller Foundation Center revealed between 1974 and 1976, American foundations made grants in excess of $2 Billion. Yet only $14 million, (less than 1 per cent) were earmarked for race relations and social re-con-struction. Hooks declared, the NAACP is now issuing a challenge to other foundations to follow the “fine example” of the Rockefeller Foundation, and to enlarge their commitments to civil rights and racial justice. “Foundations are custodians of tax dollars,” cautioned the attorney-minister, who assumed the reigns of the nation’s oldest civil rights organization last year. “Withholding support from responsible organization," Hooks said, “only sharpens racial and class divisions within society.” In addition to Rockefeller, Carnegie and Ford, Hooks

acknowledged some institutions which have been especially supportive of social justice in general-and particularly the NAACP. They include; the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, The Herman Goldman Foundation, Readers Digest, the Hearst Foundation, the Lily Endowment (based here in the city), the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Mary Reynolds, Babcock Foundation, the Henry and Lucy Moses Foundation, the Andrew Norman Foundation of California, and the William and Penn Foundation.

John M. Ross, assistant professor of recreation and park administration at Indiana University Bloomington, has been named to a fourth one-year term as special consultant to the Commission on Camping and Outdoor Education of the National Council of Churches.
