Description
The IFDA Educational Foundation’s Claire Coleman Founders Grants support marketing or communications events and projects organized by IFDA chapters. Supported by the IFDA New York Chapter, the program directs funding toward chapter-led activities in these two areas, rather than individual student study.
The Foundation provides purpose-specific support for the activity proposed by each applicant chapter. Grant funds must be used for the organization’s stated purpose and cannot cover indirect costs associated with accepting the award. The program supports two chapters each year, with each receiving the same award amount.
