Description
The Ina Mae Kaplan Historic Preservation Grant is offered by the International Furnishings and Design Association Educational Foundation, with support from the IFDA Washington, DC Chapter. It funds historic preservation or restoration work by individuals in the furnishings field, design professionals, and organizations involved in these activities.
The grant’s focus is preservation or restoration, rather than a broader program of design research or professional development. Both preservation and restoration fall within its scope, with no narrower project theme identified. The award provides dedicated support for the applicant’s proposed work, and funds must be used for that stated purpose.
