A total of $10,600 will be distributed beginning in July 2015; $10,000 provided by SNIA and $600 provided by a generous board member. These grants would not be possible without funds collected from the annual Historic Shaw Art Fair and SNIA membership dues. We thank all who have contributed, as well as the many other institutions and organizations working to enhance the quality of life of Shaw residents.
