People’s Endowment announces deadline for fall 2014 grants

October 2, 2014

University Relations

The deadline to apply for fall 2014 grants from the People’s Endowment Board at the University of Alaska Fairbanks is Oct. 29.

The People’s Endowment was established at the UA Foundation in 1986 to pay for worthwhile projects at UAF that would likely remain unfunded due to institutional priorities. Proposals will be accepted from UAF faculty, staff and students. All proposals will be submitted to the People’s Endowment Board for review and selection.

Proposals must be submitted in the template provided. Proposals received after 5 p.m. on Oct. 29 will not be considered. Successful recipients will be notified on Nov. 10.

The maximum grant is $5,000. The board may fund more than one grant depending on available funds and amounts requested. Requests for smaller amounts or partial funding will be considered.

Projects not likely to receive funding include scholarships or pure research projects. Also, grants generally will not fund projects that are part of normal university activities. The endowment doesn't fund honorariums, salaries and consultation service fees to UA employees.

Send complete proposals via email to UAF's Office of the Provost at jahoppough@alaska.edu. For the proposal template and other information, go to the People's Endowment website. For more information, call 474-7096 or email jahoppough@alaska.edu.
