Fund Leadership
The Nuckolls Fund is guided by a Board of Directors composed of representatives of a broad spectrum of the lighting industry as well as educators with experience in lighting education. The officers of the Fund are members of the Board.
The Fund disburses grant monies according to a detailed schedule and budget submitted by the grant’s principal investigator. The Fund also requires written reports at each phase of the grant to demonstrate performance. A final report assesses the project and offers recommendations for further action. This monitoring process not only looks to the proper use of funds and successful completion of work; it also suggests ways in which the Fund can improve its work overall.
All those who participate on The Nuckolls Fund’s Board of Directors serve on a volunteer basis. The Fund has one part-time paid staff called the Fund Operations Manager. Expenses are less than 2% of endowment which keeps operating costs at a minimum. Contributions to The Nuckolls Fund really do go directly to education.
