| Summary: |
The Administrative Files series documents the everyday operation of the Bromfield Street Educational Foundation and is organized alphabetically. Director's files constitute a major portion of the series. There is also significant documentation relating to the Bromfield Street Educational Foundation's Board of Directors, finances, fund raising, grants, membership, Queer Progressive Organizing School, personnel, and reorganization. Researchers should note that although the organization legally changed its name to the Bromfield Street Educational Foundation in 1982, it did not begin to use the name in earnest for all operations until almost ten years later; therefore, documents between 1982 and 1992 use the names Bromfield Street Educational Foundation or Gay Community News interchangeably. Ann Holder, foundation Foundation Director from 1996 to 1998, generated the majority of the Director's Files. The Director's Files document many activities and contain the most recent information regarding the Bromfield Street Educational Foundation, including records relating to the Board of Directors, finances, fund raising, the Gay Community News, grants, Queer Progressive Organizing School, and personnel.
Records from the Board of Directors include meeting notes, correspondence, and a staff question notebook. Documentation of the Bromfield Street Educational Foundation's financial status and development efforts is extensive. Records relating to finances include annual budget reports, general ledger reports, and documentation of the Bromfield Street Educational Foundation's five-year battle with the IRS for non-profit status. Fund raising records include information about the Sustainers, members who donated the highest amounts of money annually. The Plans and Promotions files cover mailing drives, including subscription and donation requests, and ideas for fund raising. Grant files include proposals and correspondence with granting agencies.
Personnel records include job advertisements and descriptions, employee proposals, lists of interns and volunteers, staff evaluations, and personnel policies. Also included are records of the Hiring and Search Committee and the Personnel Committee. The series also contains documentation concerning the restructuring of the Bromfield Street Educational Foundation, including records of the consultants and facilitators used, the Consultant Committee, and the transition team. Most of these records concern the major restructuring in 1993.
The records of Queer Progressive Organizing School are found in two separate areas of this series. The majority of the records, including applications, logistical information, advertisements, and correspondence, are found within the director's files. Eight audio cassettes are arranged separately. Also of note in this series are the records of the Off-the-Page reading series, the correspondence of the Bromfield Street Educational Foundation, and the records of the AIDS Committee, the Anti-Racism Committee, the Development Committee, and a few promotional t-shirts. |
