People's Endowment

The People色视频下载檚 Endowment Committee at UAF is pleased to announce the availability of funds for Spring 2025.

Call for proposals will run from October 7 - November 15, 2024.

Grants are intended to be used for a special project or to fill a critical need at UAF. Proposals will be accepted from UAF faculty, staff, and students. All proposals will be submitted to the People色视频下载檚 Endowment committee for review and selection.

Projects funded through the People's Endowment Fund from Spring 2012- Spring 2017 include: Arctic Gardeners, Midnight Sun Writer色视频下载檚 Series, Permafrost Literary Journal, the Sikuliaq project, Ethics Bowl, Innocent Eye: The Africa Photographs of Adrina Knutson, The Art of Nunavut-Inuit Tapestries from Baker Lake and Beyond, The Origins of Peace Making Circles Video, Chancellor色视频下载檚 Student Food Committee, Modernizing the Collection and Sharing of South-central Weather Data,

The People色视频下载檚 Endowment does not fund honorariums, salaries, or consultation service fees to UA employees. Examples of projects not likely to receive funding include scholarships or research projects, for which there are other funding opportunities available.
