Carnegie Corporation’s $10 Million Investment in South African Libraries Leverages Government Funds
Carnegie Corporation of New York President Vartan Gregorian and Thomas H. Kean, Chairman of the Corporation’s Board of Trustees joined South African leaders to dedicate new Carnegie Corporation-funded model libraries in Pretoria and Cape Town. Leaders from prominent South African universities also teamed with the U.S. foundation leaders to inaugurate the opening of a multi-campus electronic research consortium. The foundation has invested more than $10 million since 2004 - including a new grant of $2.5 million - to revitalize the country’s public library system. The Corporation’s grants have helped to leverage more than $60 million in government and other private funding.
