People’s Endowment funds available
February 27, 2014
The People’s Endowment Board at the University of Alaska Fairbanks is taking applications for grants of up to $5,000 to complete special projects or address critical needs.
The People’s Endowment was established at the UA Foundation in 1986 to provide money
for projects that will improve UAF but are unlikely to be funded through the institution.
UAF faculty, staff and students can submit proposals to the board. The spring 2014 deadline is 5 p.m., March 28. Late proposals will not be considered. Successful recipients will be notified on April 14.
Grants are intended to be used for a special project or to fill a critical need. The
maximum grant amount 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.
In general, grants will not go to projects that are part of normal university activities. Scholarships and pure research projects, for which there are other funding opportunities, are not likely to receive grants. The endowment doesn't fund honorariums, salaries, and consultation service fees to UA employees.
To apply, you must use the proposal template, available online at www.uaf.edu/provost/peoples-endowment . Send complete proposals via e-mail to the Provost’s Office at jahoppough@alaska.edu. General questions can be addressed to the Provost’s Office at 474-7096 or jahoppough@alaska.edu.
