The SCJP gained the attention of a diverse group of benefactors, including the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and the New World Foundation. Not every institution found in the fundraising series was a donor to the Coalition; some were solicited by Joe Ingle and his colleagues but did not have donating policies that included death penalty issues. Other institutions supported the anti-death penalty platform but could not stretch their funds to meet the Coalition's needs in a given year. Most of the material in this series is correspondence between foundation officials and Ingle, but there are also some grant proposals included. More grant proposals can be found in the subject files.
