The Arts & Crafts Research Fund was established several years ago by Bruce Johnson with the goal of providing financial assistance to researchers and writers involved in the Arts & Crafts movement.

Each year the ACRF sponsors a Silent Auction at the Arts & Crafts Conference to raise money which is distributed at no specific time during the following year. Research grants typically range between $2000-$4000.

There is no deadline and no application form.
