Special Projects Grants
The WAPA Foundation encourages submissions for funding
of any special projects that meet its mission of leadership,
education, research or service. Requests most likely to
be funded will not be in excess of other scholarship amounts
or less. Grant requests may be made by any WAPA member
or on behalf of other organizations by a WAPA member as
sponsor. Requests may be made at any time but will not
be voted upon until the next quarterly meeting of the
Foundation Trustees. These meetings occur in conjunction
with Fall and Spring CME conferences, and the January
and July WAPA board meetings. Funding decisions will be
made on the basis of how well the request meets the foundation’s
mission.
