The Haymarket People's Fund (HPF), a granting agency that
advises and provides funding for grass roots, non-profit
projects and organizations, was founded in 1974 by George
Pillsbury and other young people with inherited wealth
interested in bringing about broad social change by
addressing local issues and community needs. Specifically,
HPF seeks to "help people understand the sources of social
and economic injustice in our country and how to change them;
to support people trying to take control of their lives
through challenging established power, learning how to use
leadership, and developing self-respect; and to work towards
the shared vision of a non-oppressive, life-supporting
society" (1983-1984 Annual Report).
Between 1976 and 1977, the structure of HPF evolved from
one community decision-making board in Boston to eight
autonomous boards, one for each New England state and two for
Massachusetts and Connecticut. From 1977 until 1983, one
member of each regional board sat on the New England Board
which reviewed and approved grant proposals and served as a
board of directors. In 1983, HPF established the Coordinating
Council, responsible for general administration of the fund,
developing financial and personnel policies, and fund-raising
plans.
Since 1975, the HPF of Western Massachusetts has
distributed grants and provided emergency loans to hundreds
of grassroots organizations that serve food, clothing,
shelter, health and education needs in Berkshire, Franklin,
Hampden, and Hampshire counties. They have provided
specialized services in the areas of AIDS education,
substance abuse counseling, day care, elderly care, rape
prevention and have worked to organize community support
around the rights of women, minority or ethnic populations,
workers, tenants, people with disabilities, and gay men and
women. HPF has also educated and assisted potential donors in
their investment and donation decisions.
Return to the Table of Contents
The Haymarket People's Fund records document the breadth
and variety of projects, organizations and coalitions
supported by the fund throughout its history in Western
Massachusetts and reveal social issues of concern to local
communities and the broader region over a period of 25 years.
The efforts of grantees and their impact both locally and
nationally is well-represented for particular organizations.
Records include minutes, reports, correspondence, successful
and unsuccessful grant applications, grant source
information, and grantee materials including organization
reports, publications, member lists, clippings and other
materials.
