Abstract: |
The William Bingham Foundation was established in 1955 in Cleveland, Ohio, by Elizabeth Bingham Blossom with the proceeds
of an inheritance from her brother, William Bingham 2nd. Grants were originally given to institutions of learning, hospitals,
and public charities in Ohio. The foundation also contributed to the establishment and development of Blossom Music Center.
After the death of Elizabeth Bingham Blossom in 1970, other family members maintained control of the foundation, and the focus
of grantmaking changed to include organizations in the fields of the environment, the arts, education, health, and welfare.
Projects related to urban revitalization, adult psychological development, and nuclear issues were also undertaken. Environmental
issues took center stage in grants funding by the William Bingham Foundation in the 1980s, with several significant grants
being made to the Environmental Defense Fund. The collection consists of correspondence, grant proposals, reports, financial,
legal, and administrative records, minutes, exhibit scripts, newspaper clippings, publications, magazine articles, newsletters,
and notes.

History of the William Bingham Foundation
The William Bingham Foundation (f. 1955) was established by Elizabeth Bingham Blossom (1881-1970) with the proceeds of an
inheritance from her brother, William Bingham 2nd (1879-1955). After the deaths of his mother, Mary Perry Payne Bingham,
in 1898 and his brother Oliver in 1900, William Bingham 2nd spent years traveling the United States and Canada. He settled,
in 1911, in Bethel, Maine, where he remained for the rest of his life. The son of Charles W. Bingham (1846-1929) and nephew
of Oliver Hazard Payne (1839-1917), William Bingham 2nd inherited portions of their estates. He made philanthropy his life's
work, donating his fortune particularly to hospitals and poor residents of Maine to pay for medical care. William Bingham
2nd never married, and when he died in 1955 in Miami Beach, Florida, he left $1.5 million dollars to his sister, Elizabeth
Bingham Blossom (for a complete biographical sketch of William Bingham 2nd, see the register to MS 4691 William Bingham 2nd
Papers).
Elizabeth Bingham Blossom was the wife of Dudley S. Blossom, Sr. (1879-1938) (for a complete biographical sketch of Dudley
and Elizabeth Blossom, see the register to MS 4562 Dudley S. Blossom Family Papers). Elizabeth Blossom's reasons for starting
the foundation are not well documented, but her family believes it was a means of keeping the family together and to provide
family members with an outlet for learning and practicing charity. Grants were originally limited to institutions of learning,
hospitals, and public charities in Ohio. The original trustees included Elizabeth Blossom, her daughter, Mary Blossom Gale
Lee (1913-1976), her son, Dudley S. Blossom, Jr. (1911-1961), and her attorney, Thomas Allen. Emily Elkins Gale Blossom (1913-1991),
the second wife of Dudley S. Blossom, Jr., was elected to fill the seat of her late husband in 1963. While the third generation
of Blossoms began to join the board at this time, the founding generations controlled the William Bingham Foundation for the
first twenty years of its existence. Significant grants were made anonymously to the Case Institute of Technology. The foundation
also contributed to the establishment and development of Blossom Music Center, the summer home of the Cleveland Orchestra.
Elizabeth Bingham Blossom died in 1970, leaving the foundation almost six million dollars from her estate, bringing the holdings
of the foundation to $17 million. At this time, the William Bingham Foundation amended its articles of incorporation to authorize
gifts to tax-exempt organizations in general. Mary Blossom Gale Lee died in 1976, and soon thereafter Emily Blossom resigned
from the board. The Board now consisted of seven of the grandchildren (third generation) of the founder, including C. Bingham
Blossom, Dudley S. Blossom 3rd, Laurel Blossom, Elizabeth Blossom Heffernan, Benjamin Gale, Mary E. Gale, and Thomas H. Gale.
Although they had grown up together, each had developed his or her own personal, social, political, and religious views.
Over the next twenty years, the foundation made annual grants of over one million dollars to organizations in the fields of
the environment, arts, education, health, and welfare. Multi-year projects related to urban revitalization, adult psychological
development, and an exhibit on nuclear issues were successfully undertaken during this time. The environment took center
stage at the William Bingham Foundation in the 1980s and several significant grants were made to the Environmental Defense
Fund and other environmental organizations. Three members of the fourth Blossom generation, including Thomas V. Gale, were
added to the board during this time.
Over the years members of the third generation had made many compromises in order to reconcile philosophical differences and
keep the foundation intact. It was concluded that maintaining the foundation as a single institution was less important than
maintaining family relationships and respecting each individual's desire to practice charity in his or her own way. In 1995
the William Bingham Foundation was reorganized into five smaller foundations. These new foundations are the new William Bingham
Foundation, the Crossroads Foundation, the Thomas H. and Barbara W. Gale Foundation, the Gale Foundation, and the Molly Bee
Fund. The new William Bingham Foundation is located in Rocky River, Ohio. Its board consists of Dudley S. Blossom, Jr.'s
children C. Bingham Blossom, Laurel Blossom, and Elizabeth Heffernan, and two of his grandchildren, C. Perry Blossom and Robin
Dunn Blossom. It makes annual grants of approximately $600,000 and in 1997 had assets of approximately $20 million. The
new board still faces the same challenges of defining a mission, establishing a governance structure, and addressing other
philanthropic issues. The new William Bingham Foundation is considering possible individual or collective areas of grantmaking
emphasis but will continue to make grants in many fields.
