Everett G. Powers Fund for Creativity
The Everett G. Powers Fund for Creativity is designed to inspire innovation through the creative process. One award is offered annually to an individual or organization in support of new projects that focus on creativity, innovation and excellence.
This award recognizes the difficulty of finding funds for innovative work — work that may, at times, not be popular work. Primary consideration is given to creativity, excellence, or innovative qualities. In no way will this award censor or limit artistic or innovative freedom.
