Tribute Grant Recipients

Our region set aside $15,000 from our profits at hosting JASNA's 2010 Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Portland, Oregon to fund 10 recipients each $1,500 to attend the AGM who haven't attended as a paid registrant.  In 2014, we awarded our first grant. In 2020, the pandemic interfered. The Tribute Grant Contest and selection of the Honorees were tabled. In 2023, we resumed the Tribute Grant. In 2024, our region voted to close out the Tribute Grant in celebration of Jane Austen's 250th anniversary by consolidating the 3 remaining grants into 2 grants with each award of $2,250 for 2025 and to designate up to 2 longtime members as honorees.
