The Russell Sage Foundation
The Russell Sage Foundation, one of the oldest of America's general purpose foundations,
was established in 1907 by Mrs. Margaret Olivia Sage for "the improvement of social and
living conditions in the United States." The Foundation seeks to fulfill this mandate by
fostering the development and dissemination of knowledge about the country's political,
social, and economic problems. While the Foundation endeavors to assure the accuracy
and objectivity of each book it publishes, the conclusions and interpretations in Russell
Sage Foundation publications are those of the authors and not of the Foundation, its
Trustees, or its staff. Publication by Russell Sage, therefore, does not imply Foundation
endorsement.
