Educational or Show Grant Requirements and Application Form
Dear Chapters and Members,
Are you planning an Exhibit, Rug Show, or Hook In? Will your event include educational activities such as public access to the art of Rug Hooking, Demonstrations, or Classes taught by active McGown instructors? If so you may be eligible for an Educational or Show Grant award to help with the cost of your event.
The National Guild of the Pearl K. McGown Rug Hookrafters Inc. is offering a limited number of monetary grants to eligible Chapters and Members at Large who are planning educational Rug Hooking events, which embrace our mission and purpose to further the education and interests of the public, teachers, and pupils in the craft and art of Rug Hooking.
Grants will be made on a first come first served basis to applicants who meet the criteria set forth for receiving the grant and who are willing to provide a follow up report so that we can put the story of your event on our website and in the McGown Newsletter.
Monetary grants of no less than $250 will be made for appropriate educational expenses. Chapters/Members who are planning a rug show or hook in with demonstrations or teachers or some combination would be eligible to apply. In addition the National PKM Rug Hookrafters Guild can provide consulting services in the areas of event organization.
Applications should be made no less than 4 months prior to the event.
