Honoring Success with Money


Judith H. Dobrzynski questions whether the National Endowment for the Arts should be attaching cash to lifetime achievement awards:
Would the awards be just as prestigious without the money? I don't see why not. $25,000 probably means little to most of these awardees, but it means a lot to other NEA recipients -- in many programs. NEA is known for piddling out small amounts to many organizations, giving them a so-called stamp of approval that allows easier fundraising elsewhere.
