Description
The International Furnishings and Design Association Educational Foundation offers Chapter Partnership Grants to help IFDA chapters develop quality educational programs. The program supports chapter-planned educational activities, with funding directed toward the purpose each chapter describes in its proposal. Applicants describe the educational aspect of the program and its purpose, along with event details such as location and projected attendance.
The grants form part of the foundation’s educational support for the home furnishings and design communities. Rather than funding a separately defined research topic, the program focuses on chapter-level educational programming. Each funded event’s invitation must acknowledge the IFDA Educational Foundation as an event supporter.
