In support of its mission to further education in the fiber arts, MAFA awards several types of grants.
MAFA Grants are awarded yearly to member guilds and non-profit organizations in the region based on applications describing how the proposed fiber-related project will educate and/or otherwise benefit the public.
Micro-Grants are awarded in amounts of up to $500 for development and maintenance of member guilds to promote growth and development, or enhanced activities and education for the guild.
Recovery Fund awards are made to support individuals or groups with situations, such as natural disasters, that inhibit the ability to continue in their fiber arts pursuits.
Fellowships are awarded in conference years based on applications describing how the attendee plans to utilize the knowledge gained at the conference to further educate others.
Conference Scholarships for First Time Attendees will be awarded to first-time attendees of MAFA in-person conferences.
