SURFACE DESIGN ASSOCIATION GRANTS (1/08)

The Surface Design Association offers two types of grants to individuals who are SDA members:

 

• personal development grants (2 grant cycles per year)

• small event grants (4 grant cycles per year)

The amount of funds available for grants varies from year to year.   Please contact Bette Levy (VP-Development@SurfaceDesign.org) if you intend to apply, to determine if grant monies are available.

Please be sure to read the descriptions of both types of grants so that you apply for the most appropriate grant. In writing your application, be very specific and describe your project in as much detail as possible and in terms readily understood by others. Avoid jargon and flowery language. Budgets should be well-fleshed out, including adequate line items for your project so that reviewers will understand how the project is being funded. The guidelines are very specific about what needs to be included. any of these items may result in your grant being denied.

You may also refer to two articles which appeared in the Winter 2006 and Winter 2008 SDA newsletter which contain additional guidelines for writing your SDA grant.    Winter 08 issue    Winter 06 issue.

If you have any questions about grant submissions, please contact Bette Levy, vp-development@surfacedesign.org.
