Description
The New Chapter Development Grant is supported by the International Furnishings and Design Association Educational Foundation (IFDA-EF). It provides funding to a newly established IFDA chapter to create an educational program intended to attract members. The program links chapter development with education, supporting a chapter’s proposed activity rather than an individual’s studies.
The grant focuses on the educational program itself and its role in helping a new chapter build membership. Support is tied to the purpose stated in the chapter’s application, and awarded funds must be used for that purpose. Indirect costs associated with accepting the grant are excluded from support.
