How you can help

Funding for the Seed Grant program derives from the donations by HATS Member organizations, area companies, and individuals.  The amount received from donation each year is uncertain.  Often more funding is requested than HATS receives for the program. Many worthwhile and promising proposals thus have to be denied funding.

Persons interested in helping the Seed Grant Program expand and strengthen can do so by:

• Volunteering to work on the STEDTRAIN Committee
• Volunteering to organize a fund raising event
• Bringing the program to the attention of community leaders
• Bringing the program to the attention of professional organization leaderships
• Bringing the program to the attention of company executives and encouraging their support
• Making a donation to the program

HATS is a 501.c3 organization. Donations, therefore, are tax deductible.

Donors will receive widespread recogition in the HATS and STEDTRAIN communications vehicles.

The STEDTRAIN Committee knows that many professional organizations allot portions of their budgets to education. The plea therefore is made that they consider donating some portion of these funds to the HATS Seed Grant program in order that more proposals can be funded. An organization that donates to the program will receive full recognition in any publicity releases and literature on the program.

Donation checks should be made payable to HATS STEDTRAIN and mailed to:
