Description
The International Furnishings and Design Association Educational Foundation’s Chapter Partnership Grants support educational programs at the IFDA chapter level. Funding assists with planning, communication, and programming that helps members understand business, new developments, innovation, and industry trends. The programs aim to equip members to reach clients and work with them effectively.
Supported programs can also raise the visibility of individual chapters and IFDA as a whole, attracting new members and sponsors. Award considerations include programs addressing industry concerns such as business practices, sustainability, and new building codes, as well as programs offering continuing education units (CEUs). Creative approaches to promotion and marketing are also considered.
