ABOUT THE ALFRED P. SLOAN FOUNDATION

http://www.sloan.org

 

   The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation is a philanthropic nonprofit institution established in 1934 by Alfred Pritchard Sloan, Jr., then president and chief executive officer of the General Motors Corporation. Mr. Sloan expected the Foundation would "continue as an operating facility indefinitely into the future…to represent my accomplishments in this life." Today the Foundation supports research on the factors that affect the American standard of living and industrial and economic performance. Its programs also support

research and education in science and technology, and efforts to increase public understanding of these subjects.
