Award financial assistance to governmental entities and nonprofit corporations formed for educational or charitable purposes, including, without limitation, the preservation or promotion of cultural resources. 2. Establish the conditions an applicant must satisfy to receive an award of financial assistance. Financial assistance may only be awarded for the actual expense of preserving or protecting historical buildings to be used to develop a network of cultural centers and activities. 3. Specify the criteria by which proposed projects will be judged. The criteria must include, but is not limited to, a consideration of the degree to which a proposed project: (a) May become a recurring event without the necessity of future state financial support; (b) Will be accessible to the community; (c) Will promote tourism in the State; (d) Will promote or preserve some historic or prehistoric feature of Nevada; (e) Will have multiple uses for many types of cultural organizations; (f) Will supplement training in the classroom in the arts and humanities; and (g) Incorporates the various disciplines directly associated with cultural resources. 4. Give priority to projects of statewide historical, prehistorical or cultural significance which demonstrate an ability to raise and sustain required amounts of financial support from sources other than the State of Nevada, including donations of goods and services. The ability of a project to raise and sustain support must be weighed against the relative means and abilities of the applicants.
