She also funded the Tully Crenshaw Feminist Oral History Project, which documented the experiences of women involved in the early years of NOW.
[1] When Tully was first appointed to the position, the fund had no staff, no office, and little financial assistance from the parent organization.
By the time she finished her tenure as president, the fund had around 12 staff members, an operating budget of $650,000, and offices in Washington D.C. and New York.
"[7] When the touring exhibition of Judy Chicago's feminist art installation The Dinner Party was having difficulty securing funding in 1978, Tully arranged for a meeting between organizer Diane Gelon and representatives from the Ford Foundation.
She served as co-chair for the organization and was a co-founder of the National Women's Political Caucus for New York.
[3] Tully started the Betty Friedan Project and the History of NOW, which spurred reunions of early members of the National Organization for Women and led to the formation of Veteran Feminists of America (VFA) in 1992 during a meeting at her apartment in Manhattan.
[3] The oral history project was continued in 1990 with Tully's $100,000 donation to the Schlesinger Library at Harvard University's Radcliffe Institute.
