The Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers (GFUOTR) was the most significant African-American mutual aid society in Richmond. Founded by William Washington Browne, the GFUOTR was chartered by the Good Templars, and evolved into a Black-owned and operated business empire, in its time the largest and most successful Black-owned association in the county. The mutual aid societies were of critical importance in the Black communities of the South after the Civil war, working with fraternal organizations and Black churches to created business networks for African-Americans who found themselves exiled outside the mainstream economy.
