2009/2010 GRANTS
The National Quilting Association, Inc is pleased to announce the 2009 Grant Recipients!
This year the Grant Review Committee evaluated twenty four applications and recommended funding for
twelve applicants. Click here to read about those receiving grants for
2009.
Each year, The National Quilting Association offers financial support in the form of grant awards for
projects that fall within the following areas:
- Education of quiltmakers
- Original research into the historical documentation of quilts, quiltmakers and subjects related
to quiltmaking
- Research on social history related to quilts
- Outreach to the community through the art of quiltmaking.
More complete information is available on the Grant Program page. The
availability of grant funds is dependent upon the success of the annual Little Quilt Auction, held in
conjunction with the annual quilt show. Therefore, the number of grants awarded each year, and their
amounts, varies with the success of those fundraising efforts.
Applications for the 2010 Grant Program are now
available. Completed applications must be received no later than 4 PM, OCTOBER 15, 2009.
All applicants will be notified in January 2010. Funds for successful grant seekers will be paid as soon
as their award contract is returned.
