Country Grants
Information
1. Grants of up to $500 are available to be awarded to country groups requiring financial assistance to further the art of quilting in their area or region.

- group activities such as community wall hangings, bus tours to other exhibitions etc.
- group valuation of quilts
3. Requests for grants may be made prior to all arrangements being finalised on the proviso that, should the event not take place, any money advanced by SA Quilters will be returned to SA Quilters. Requests, however, have to show planning and intent, and those without substantive information will not be considered.
