The People’s Endowment Board at the University of Alaska Fairbanks is pleased to announce the availability of funds for 2004-2005.

The People’s Endowment was established at the UA Foundation in 1986. Initiated by Carla Helfferich as her winning entry in the Incentive Awards Program, its intent is to provide a source of funds for projects that will improve UAF but would likely remain unfunded due to institutional priorities. Grants are intended to be used for a special project or to fill a critical need at UAF.

Proposals for the grant will be accepted from University of Alaska Fairbanks faculty, staff and students. All proposals will be submitted to the People’s Endowment Board for review and selection.

Deadline: The deadline for receipt of complete proposals is Dec. 1, 2004, for the 2004-2005 grant. Proposals postmarked after midnight of the deadline date will not be considered. Successful recipients will be notified of the board’s decision by Feb.1, 2005.

Maximum Grant Amount: $5,000
The board may fund more than one grant depending on available funds and the amounts requested by proposers. Requests for smaller amounts or partial funding will be considered.

Submission Guidelines:
Submit a complete description of the proposed project to include:
o Title and general description
o Problem to be solved; how will PE funding fill a critical need or improve UAF?
o Detail of budget requested
o Applicant contact information, including name, address, phone number and e-mail address, and university affiliation
