The William Volker Fund was a charitable foundation established in 1932 by Kansas City, Missouri, businessman and home-furnishings mogul William Volker. Volker founded the fund with the purposes of aiding the needy, reforming Kansas City's health care and educational systems, and combating the influence of machine politics in municipal governance. Following Volker's death in 1947, Volker's nephew, Harold W. Luhnow continued the fund's previous mission, but also used the fund to promote and disseminate ideas on free-market economics. During Luhnow's tenure as the fund's primary manager, the William Volker Fund was one of the few libertarian organizations with significant amounts of money at its disposal, making it a key leader in developing the modern libertarian and conservative movements

  • La William Volker Fund fue una fundación benéfica establecida en 1932 por el empresario y magnate de muebles para el hogar William Volker, originario de Kansas City, Misuri. Volker creó la fundación con el propósito de ayudar a los necesitados, reformar los sistemas educativos y de atención médica de Kansas City y combatir la influencia de la política de máquinas en el gobierno municipal. Tras la muerte de Volker en 1947, el sobrino de Volker, Harold W. Luhnow continuó la misión anterior de la fundación, pero también lo utilizó para promover y difundir ideas sobre la economía de libre mercado. Durante el mandato de Luhnow como administrador principal, William Volker Fund fue una de las pocas organizaciones libertarias con cantidades significativas de dinero a su disposición, lo que la convirtió en un líder clave en el desarrollo de los movimientos libertarios y conservadores modernos de los Estados Unidos.
