JKC Industry Fund – Grants for the Jewelry Industry

If you are an individual, group, or association that thinks its work produces results that improve the overall image of the jewelry industry, you might be interested in applying for a JCK Industry Fund Grant. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are given away each year. The 2015 awarees will be announced soon this year, but if you’re interested in the next round, you will have to be prepared to enter your submission by December 2016.

If you think your association, group, or organiziation fits into the critique and you would like to apply for a grant, you will have to submit a written, formal proposal to JCK, including the following:

1)  What you will use the grant for

2) The amount you are requesting

3) A timeline for expenditures and how finances will be allocated

4) Your historical budget

5) Expected benefits and how they are measured

You will also have to agree in writing that you allow JCK to conduct a financial audit of the funds that you are using from the grant.

JKC has a Fund Advisory Committee that is comprised of representatives from the retail and manufacturing industries and from JCK. You can visit their page about the JCK Insustry Fund here.  Good luck from BC Custom Jewelry to anyone who enters!
