ABOUT THE FOUNDATION

The Yip Harburg Foundation (YHF) was founded by E.Y. “Yip” Harburg in 1981. Yip used his genius and humor to create lyrics and musicals which raised awareness of racism and social injustice. The YHF, funded by royalties from his songs, seeks to continue that legacy by giving grants to charities and nonprofits that work to bring about economic and social justice.
