Chapters selected as POE sites are offered a grant of up to $3,500 from AGO National Headquarters as seed money to begin their work. The purpose of the grant is to help ensure that no chapter loses money on its own program. This grant money should be used to offset costs (especially advance costs like deposits) necessary to run a POE; for example, housing, meals, fees associated with venues, printing, mailing, website costs, etc. Optional expenses, especially professional artist fees, are covered by the chapter or by creative fundraising. If a POE accepts an AGO grant and realizes a profit, the host chapter is encouraged to use that money toward future education-related projects. (Please see page 53 of the POE Handbook for full details.)
