Outside Help: Creative Funding Sources

By Anne Skove, Esq.

We were all taught to follow the money but nobody gave us a map! Here are a few creative (and generous) ideas for funding projects:

• In Little Rock, the Carroll County Courthouse received a grant from the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program: County Courthouses, ES Museum Recipients of $114,000 in Grants, Carroll County News (July 3, 2009).


• Just in time for the 4th of July, the Newburyport Bar Association replaced tattered flags in local Massachusetts courthouses: Lawyers Buy New Flags for Local Courthouses, Kirsten Michener, Daily News (July 4, 2009).


• If courthouse improvement sounds like a good Boy Scout project, it is. Troop 185 in Teton County bought materials and installed lighting around the courthouse flag: Boy Scouts Light up Flag, Teton Valley News (July 4, 2009).


• When all else fails, draft volunteer judges: Easing Case Congestion with Volunteers, Third Branch (June 2009).
