Tom,
Enclosed are sheets of paper that contain the names of foundations
that I believe we can contact as potential financial supporters of our
case.
The page with the star in the upper right hand corner indicates a list
I think would be our best shot. These are national foundations that have
given to civil rights litigation in the past. Note especially the Boehm
Foundation. I will try and set up an appointment with Ms. Coster when
I am visiting with Professor Tribe this next week.
My suggestion would be to call all of these foundations first, confirm
they may support our special litigation, and ask what needs to be sent
to start the process going.
The other pages contain Texas based foundations. The information I
found on them in the library indicates there may be a possibility they would support
an effort like ours. When I was looking up this information, it appeared
that all or most of these groups required a submission of request no later
than February. When you call to verify the format for request, you might
confirm the deadline date.
If you find yourself getting bogged down with these, let me know and
I will do what I can to help. I would think this would be a top priority.
What do you think?
Sincerely,
Don Baker
