The California Cultural and Historical Endowment (CCHE) Board met August 22 and 23, 2007 at the California State Library in Sacramento to hear presentations from 50 grant applicants for CCHE’s third and final scheduled Round of Proposition 40 bond funds. The Board had $43 million of Proposition 40 funds available to award in this final Round.
To ensure more equitable consideration of applications, CCHE categorized organizations into divisions based on their annual operating budget so that they would be able to compete amongst entities with similar budgets. Also, 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.
At the conclusion of the 2-day meeting, the CCHE Board voted to reserve funding for 41 applicants from the Project Grants, and award 13 from the Planning Grants.
