2008 Conference Grants Program
The grant submission deadline is February 18.The ISA grant programs provide incremental funding for conference activities and scholarships, over and above the level of conference budgets. Conferences are invited to propose ways in which modest discretionary or seed money could make a difference to their conference as described below. Please note that grant amounts are limited, due primarily to increased grant applications. As a result we are now strongly encouraging matching funds with grant submissions. We are also now considering scholarship funding requests separately. Please submit programming and scholarship grants separately. Grants are made annually, and have typically been in the range of several hundred dollars. This funding is for new projects and programs, rather than as subsidies to ongoing budgets. Grants are meant to foster the educational, religious and cultural aspects of on-Island conferences. We tend to accept proposals that:
The Association has done joint funding with other organizations. However, this program does not apply to affiliates of other organizations, such as the Star Island Corporation and Elderhostel. When a grant is made by the Association, it would be appreciated if the grant were acknowledged publicly at the conference. For information please contact the grant committee at grants@shoals.org. Requests for Conference Grants will be reviewed by the full ISAUU Board in early March. Please submit your grant by the February 18 deadline. Grants should be submitted as e-mail attachments to grants@shoals.org. If this is problematic for your conference please e-mail us well in advance to make other arrangements. A confirmation e-mail will be sent when your application has been received.
