52:16A-73. Findings, declarations relative to the New Jersey Cultural Trust  2. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. Arts, history, and humanities contribute immeasurably to the quality of life in New Jersey, to the tourism industry and the economy, to the health and vitality of our cities, towns, and neighborhoods, to sound education, to the teaching of tolerance and understanding, and to the celebration of our rich cultural diversity and identity.  b. Hundreds of nonprofit cultural organizations in this State play an invaluable role in ensuring that the benefits of the arts, history, and humanities are extended to the people and communities of New Jersey. c. These nonprofit cultural organizations work diligently and responsibly to carry out their vital missions. However, as a whole, they are undercapitalized, which makes them vulnerable to economic downturns. Therefore, in order to ensure a stable and healthy cultural climate in this State that is sustainable for years to come and under fluctuating economic conditions, the Legislature hereby creates the New Jersey Cultural Trust and directs the establishment of a permanent, interest-generating fund to be an additional source of revenue to nonprofit arts, history, and humanities organizations, specifically for the building of endowments, the improvement of institutional and financial stability, and the capital improvement of cultural facilities.
