NASA's Breakthrough Propulsion Physics project

NASA's Breakthrough Propulsion Physics project was shut down in January 2003
due to lack of funding. Why can't they look for funding elsewhere, like most
non profit agencies do. Does federal law require that all of NASA's funding
come from the federal budget?
