Other Requirements
**What is NOT eligible for Puffin funding?** * **Education-related expenses** * The Foundation does not have the resources to offer financial assistance for scholarships or for any projects or expenses related to education or professional development. If the project as a whole or in part counts toward any of your coursework or your degree, no part of it is eligible for funding. Likewise, if you are a professor, projects related to the coursework you offer are not eligible for funding. * **Travel, conference fees, food and lodging** * Puffin does not fund any of the following, even when they are an integral or unavoidable part of a project: food, lodging, transportation/travel expenses, conference fees. If these expenses are a part of your project, they should be reflected in your budget, but excluded from your funding request. * **Projects that involve the use of artificial intelligence (AI)** * We do not fund any projects with AI components. Projects which consist of or utilize, in whole or in part, content generated by artificial intelligence are ineligible for funding by The Puffin Foundation. This includes works that comment upon or critique actual AI-generated material (regardless of origin). This policy applies to works in all genres of art that we support. * **Literary and written word projects, dance projects (formerly supported by The Puffin Foundation)** * The Foundation has limited resources, and has made the painful but necessary choice to discontinue funding for projects in certain genres. Literary and other written word projects, including developmental writing for theater, video, film, and radio projects, are no longer eligible for Puffin funding. Foundation no longer funds dance-related proposals.
