The Carnegie Corporation of New York has played a central role in the growth of American philanthropy, both at home and abroad.
Conducted in multiple phases since 1966, the Carnegie Corporation of New York Oral History captures the memories of Corporation officers, staff members, and grantees, offering a rich portrait of the organization's evolution.
The extensive interviews from previous phases cover the growth of American philanthropy nationally and internationally, the consistency of Carnegie’s grant-making in areas such as education, democracy, and international peace, as well as Carnegie’s long involvement in southern Africa. Since the conclusion of phase three in 2013, Carnegie has continued to build and expand its impact globally.
Phase four, currently underway, captures those efforts and examines President Vartan Gregorian’s leadership and legacy.
