Habib's Garden
Connecting People to Weave a Better World
It is with great sadness that we report the death of Steve Habib Rose. A number of us met this evening and thought that this group would be a fitting tribute. Lets use this group to recognize, honor and appreciate the many gifts and blessings he bestowed on so many of us. Please add yourself and your reflections.

About [Edit]
|
The Scherman Foundation was founded in 1941 by Harry Scherman, founder of the Book-of-the-Month Club, as a small family foundation. From a modest giving program, averaging about one hundred thousand dollars a year, the Scherman Foundation has grown and broadened its interests. To date, it has made more than 6,400 grants, totaling over 100 million dollars.
The giving program of the Foundation emphasizes general support, reflecting the Directors' commitment to sustained support for current grantees, and the belief that strong nonprofit leaders who are closest to the issues can best decide on the most effective use of grant funds. The main areas of interest of the Scherman Foundation are the environment, human rights and liberties, peace and security, reproductive rights and services, the arts, and social welfare.
In the last two areas particularly, priority is given to organizations in New York City. The Foundation does not fund colleges, universities or professional schools. No grants are made for medical, science or engineering research, nor does the Foundation make grants to capital campaigns, individuals, or in support of conferences, specific media or arts productions.
