People’s Endowment announces deadline for fall 2014 grants
October 2, 2014
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.
