Archive, Document, Display, and Disseminate (ADDD) Fund

Philanthropist Herman Rose, winner of the Foundation's 2004 Inspiring Partner award, created the Archive, Document, Display, and Disseminate (ADDD) Fund at the Foundation in 1986 to provide new incentives to strengthen libraries and other civic, cultural, and literacy-focused organizations and expand their role as community centers that stimulate dialogue around critical issues.
