Scope and Content Note
The records of the Fund for the Reinhold Niebuhr Award, Inc., span the years 1965-1975 and consist mainly of correspondence, administrative and financial records, printed matter, and miscellaneous material concerning a fund to honor the theologian and social philosopher Reinhold Niebuhr.

Other correspondents include Niebuhr’s wife and son, Ursula Niebuhr and Christopher Niebuhr, as well as other friends and relatives, and Virginia Lieson Brereton and John C. Bennett, administrative members of the fund that was founded in 1972 and dissolved in 1975.
