Stamp Society Supports Youth Philately
(EPRSP1/EPRCP1)
The British North America Philatelic Society has announced the second year of its program of financial grants up to $400 (Canadian dollars) for activities encouraging children and young adults ( to 18 years old) to pursue a hobby in philately. This reflects the organization's commitment to youth philately.
If your philatelic group or school is planning a new or expanded activity supporting stamp-collecting by youth in 2007, you may submit a request for funding. Such activities could be at a stamp show, in a classroom, or at a stamp club. Examples from 2006 include funding to help stamp activity tables at several stamp shows, a first day cover design contest, and a number of new school stamp clubs.
To qualify you must submit an application. BNAPS will need to know your plans and budget. If your activity is show-related they'll want the activity to be noted in the show's program with a copy sent to them. If funding is granted the organization will also want a summary of what was accomplished.
The decision whether to fund a proposal will rest solely with the Youth Activity Committee of BNAPS, and will be final. Once a proposal is accepted a check will be issued to the sponsoring party included in the proposal.
All proposals must be submitted by March 10, 2007 The budget for this program is limited so the sooner you apply the better. Applications are available on the BNAPS website, www.bnaps.org under Youth Program, or from:
