The
California Cultural and Historical Endowment Board
met April 27th and 28th, 2006 at the California
State Library in
Sacramento
to hear presentations from 53 grant applicants for
the Endowment's second Round of Proposition 40
bond funds. The Board had $43 million of
Proposition 40 funds available to award in this
second Round.
To
ensure more equitable consideration of
applications, the Endowment Board grouped
organizations into divisions so that the
organizations would compete amongst entities with
similar budgets. Also in this second round of
distributions, two types of applications were
accepted, Project Grants for which division groups
could apply for funding between $25,000-$3,000,000
for capital projects, and Planning Grants, for
which division groups could apply for funding
between $10,000-$300,000 for planning activities
related to capital projects. The Planning Grants
were offered to allow applicants time to seriously
consider whether they wish to pursue a capital
project, given the budgetary expenses involved in
such an undertaking.
At
the conclusion of the 2-day meeting, the Board
voted to reserve specific allocations for 45
applicants from the Project Grants, and award 34
from the Planning Grants.
The
45 Project Grant finalists are:

The
Endowment Board received 263 total applications this funding Round. The
total those applicants requested was approximately $268 million, an amount
that shows the tremendous need for this program. The Board was pleased to
reserve funding for 45 projects, and to award funding for 34 planning
grants, 79 total applicants whose reserved and awarded funding totals
approximately $43 million.
Proposition
40 called for the creation of the California Cultural and Historical
Endowment to support the “acquisition, development, preservation, and
interpretation of buildings, structures, sites, places, and artifacts that
preserve and demonstrate culturally significant aspects of
California
's history and for grants for these purposes.” To carry out Proposition
40's mandate, the Endowment will, over the Rounds established by its
Board, distribute $122 million in Proposition 40 funds.
