We are delighted to announce that this year WARP will again offer Artisan Support Grants to textile artists worldwide who need help building healthy businesses inspired by handmade traditions.
Our annual Artisan Grant Fundraising Campaign, will run February 1 – February 28. Thanks to the Ellen Marrott Bequest Fund and a generous donor, your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000! The more we raise, the more grants we can award!
Donate by Feb 28 to have your donation doubled (while funds last)!
Thanks to your generosity, we have met or exceeded our fundraising goal every year since 2021. Last year, we raised a record $23,000 and awarded 28 grants to artisan businesses from around the world – the most grants ever!
We have every reason to believe that our applicant pool will grow significantly this year, which is why we need your help to meet or exceed last year’s fundraising campaign!
Hear from 2024 Grantees on the Impact of Your Generosity:

“Thank you to WARP for the grant support and for trusting us with your funds. We believe that through this grant we have been able to establish the largest cluster of water hyacinth textile weavers in Nigeria and dare I say Africa at large.”
-2024 grantee Achenyo Idachaba-Obaro, Mitimeth, Nigeria

“The WARP grant enabled Natün to strengthen its Vocational Trade courses, directly benefiting 15 Indigenous women. This support helps us achieve our goal of improving economic well-being by providing culturally relevant and reaffirming income-generating opportunities for Indigenous women.”
-2024 grantee Jacquelin Yoc, Natún, Guatemala
