Does the Endowment fund areas that are considered to be government’s responsibility?
As stated in the “Eligibility” section of the Proposal Guidelines, the Endowment usually does not fund projects that replace public or government obligations. We consider a governmental obligation to be an item that is currently or was recently on the State or Federal budget. Occasionally, we decline a proposal because the proposed project is widely considered to be a governmental responsibility, even though it is not funded by State or Federal dollars.
