THE YIP HARBURG FOUNDATION INC

Mission

The Yip Harburg Foundation funds projects that (a) work toward world peace, (b) work to end economic and social discrimination and exploitation, racial/ethnic conflicts, and social injustice; (b) provide educational opportunities to low-income and minority students through scholarship organizations; (c) advance and promote new works of American political art, especially efforts involving cultural and societal issues; (d) preserve and enhance the legacy of E.Y. Harburg through new projects or revivals of his standard works in all media.

 

We invite scholars, students and musical theatre practitioners to use our archives on Yip Harburg, which consist of an extensive collection of scripts, scores, recordings, videotapes, press clippings, etc., many of which are rare and unavailable elsewhere. Originals are housed at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center and at Yale University. Copies of most of these materials are available from the Foundation's office.
