Portland Handweavers Guild Special Projects Funding Policy

Purpose: The purpose of this fund is to provide guild members with financial support for their ideas for special projects related to weaving and textile arts so that recipients can develop themselves as fiber artists. Grants may be to individuals or study groups, and applicants are expected to share their findings and/or experiences with the guild. The process is intended to be administratively simple in order to encourage participation.
