We could qualify, without doubt. I hope Mr. Somma gets a copy of this, as he has a project already in the works that qualifys. John Mac Isaac >>> [log in to unmask] 08/06/04 01:58PM >>> I thought this might be relevant for some museums out there: Furthermore Offers Support for Nonfiction Book Publishing Deadline: September 15, 2004 A program of the J.M. Kaplan Fund, the Furthermore program provides grants to support nonfiction books on art, architecture, and design; conservation; cultural history; and public issues. The program seeks work that appeals to an informed general audience; gives evidence of high standards in editing, design, and production; promises a reasonable shelf life; and might not otherwise achieve top quality or even come into being. Book proposals to which a university press or trade publisher is already committed and for which there is a feasible distribution plan are usually preferred. Furthermore applicants must be 501(c)(3) organizations. Successful applicants have included civic and academic institutions, museums, independent and university presses, and professional societies. Trade publishers and public agencies may apply for Furthermore grants in partnership with an eligible nonprofit project sponsor. Applications from individuals cannot be accepted. Grants will range from $500 to approximately $15,000, and may be used to fund writing, research, editing, design, indexing, photography, illustration, and printing and binding. Complete program guidelines and application forms are available at the Furthermore Web site. http://www.furthermore.org/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Susan Cronin Ruderman, Ed.M., Vice President VERITAS INFORMATION SERVICES, 9 Alton St., Arlington, MA 02474 (781) 643-7811; (781) 643-1136 (fax); <[log in to unmask]> Fundraising Research Consulting; www.veritasinfo.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
