Season three of the USk Regional Events Grant Funding Programme is underway!
These USk funds are provided to assist chapters to plan and deliver events that are bigger than local – smaller than international – but always connecting the community.
Innovation is key to growth, and five USk chapters were successfully awarded grants of $2,000 USD each.
The official announcement was made via an Instagram Live broadcast, and is now viewable on Youtube. Special guest was Margaret de Bree from USk Johannesburg, who were a 2023 season funding recipient, and the first chapter from Africa to receive a USk grant.
This coming season, the events calendar allowed for events to occur in the 12 months from May 2024 – April 2025, and the USk community responded with a raft of interesting projects. Ultimately five recipients were chosen and it was gratifying to select a variety of events that are across four continents and spread across the year!
