The Guild is dedicated to furthering woodworking through the sharing of knowledge, skills and experience among its members and the general public. Grants are available to individuals, groups, organizations and institutions with not-for-profit motives and ad-hoc groups of individuals with a common goal.Â
Funding for the Grant Program is supported either by dollar donations or by the the raffle of member donated items at Guild tent at the annual League of NH Craftsmen’s Fair at Sunapee.
The Legacy Scholarship Program was replaced by the Grant Program in late 2015.
