Grant Programs

Support of Regional Viol Activities

The philosophy of any VdGSA educational grant is to provide the greatest number of teaching and learning opportunities for the greatest number of people, with special preference given to areas not regularly served by teachers. There are no deadlines, but instead applications will be accepted at any time during the year.

The award pool is limited to $1250 every six months (January-June and July-December). Further, we will not accept applications prior to 18 months before a scheduled workshop. With this we are trying to be fair to those chapters planning workshops well ahead of time, but also to be able to accommodate the type of situation where players may discover that a teacher will be in their area in the very near future who is willing to give a workshop if they can fund it.

We will give preference to groups or teachers not funded in the past two years. (Unless there is unused money available, no sponsoring group will be funded two years in a row.) No single grant shall exceed $500.

Applications should include:

Name of the VdGSA member contact person for the event
Chapter or region holding the event
Number of people expected to attend
Workshop title
Schedule of events
Proposed coach(es)/teacher(s)
Expenses anticipated (e.g., coach fees, travel expenses)

Applications should be submitted to:

Sponsors of all funded projects are expected to write a report afterwards for the VdGSA News. Funding may be used for any reasonable expense associated with your event. Got a project? Tell us about it, and we/ll try to help. And if you need help finding coaches or just need organizational advice, please contact Ellen Seibert, 1815 Federal Ave E, Seattle, WA 98102, tel.
