Bright ideas pay off - The Boston Globe

Bright ideas pay off - The Boston Globe: "It has come to this. With fewer tax dollars and bigger budget cuts, local governments -- especially recreation departments -- are looking for alternatives such as contests, sponsorships, and grants to provide what they need, items that, in many cases, tax dollars once provided.

Funding opportunities such as the Granite City Electric contest -- or similar contests sponsored by companies such as General Mills and IBM -- can be a lifesaver for cash-strapped towns. So can grants of various sorts."
