Slater Fund

Slater Fund

The Slater Fund was created in the United States in 1882 for the encouragement of industrial education among the negroes in the South. In May, 1882 Mr. Slater transferred $1,000,000 to a board of trustees incorporated by the State of New York. Bishop Haygood, Dr. J. L. M. Curry, Dr. Wallace Buttrick, and Dr. James Dillard were general agents of the fund. Unlike the Peabody Education Fund, the Slater Fund contributed to schools which helped to provide the education of colored students.
