SNAG Receives Windgate Grant
SNAG is excited to announce we have received grant support from the Windgate Charitable Foundation in the amount of $75,000 for 2015!
This grant will support many of our programs including the conference, the exhibitions program, the convening, and our new symposium sponsorship program. SNAG would like to thank the Windgate Charitable Foundation for its support. It is through funders like Windgate that SNAG is able to continue its good work supporting and advancing the field of metals and jewelry.
