WHAT DOES THE NCF EXPECT?

The NCF gets its initial impetus through a corpus contribution by the Government of India, Department of Culture of Rs.19.5 crores of which Rs.2 crore is being made available since  the financial year 1996-97. It expects contributions from the State Governments, statutory bodies, private and corporate sectors, trusts, societies, individuals and even from the United Nations and its associated bodies. 

Contributions can be activity-specific. That means it would be possible for a donor to the NCF to indicate a project alongwith any specific location/ aspect for funding and also the agency for the execution of the project while making donations to the NCF subject to general policy guidelines and rules, if any, in this behalf.
