IDEC / IDECF Special Projects Grant
IDEC and the IDEC Foundation are pleased to announce funding for Special Projects and invites submissions by the membership. Requests - for funding up to $2,500 - will be considered that engage creative, goal-oriented activities of a defined scope and duration benefiting interior design education and/or the profession. Projects must produce tangible results and clearly reinforce the mission and objectives of IDEC. The committee may decide to award some or all of the funds in one category or to split the funds among several requests
Proposal submissions require the primary participation of an IDEC professional member in good standing. Non-members, associate members, and graduate students may only submit proposals with a professional member. Current and former IDECF Board Members from the last five years are not eligible to apply. Proposals may be generated by the general membership as individuals, networks, committees and regions or by the Board of Directors. Proposals that demonstrate matching or supplemental funds will be given priority.
Previous Special Projects recipients are eligible to apply after two years have lapsed, between the ending date of one award and the beginning date of the new award - with successful completion and dissemination of their previous project results.
