Fiber Trust

Instituted in 1993, the Fiber Trust is HGA’s annual fundraising campaign to support our mission to educate, support and inspire the fiber art community. We are charged with the responsibility of preserving our members’ knowledge and passing it on to future generations. Your gift enables HGA to continue to fund teams of university students to participate in the Convergence® Fashion Design Challenge; supports educational programs such as the Certificate of Excellence (COE); provides funding for Convergence® Interns, artist grants and student scholarships; and provides exhibition opportunities for fiber artists such as HGA's annual touring exhibit, Small Expressions.
 
Each Fiber Trust campaign begins on January 1st and ends on December 31st. Donors are recognized within the campaign year they give and their level is based on the total amount given that year.
