Norwalk, Conn.--JCK has opened its submission process for 2017 Industry Fund grant proposals.

Specifically, the fund looks to support groups that improve the image of the industry for consumers, help address serious problems or assist international organizations in creating training materials.
The deadline for 2017 grant proposal submissions is Thursday, Dec. 8. To submit a proposal, visit the JCK website.
“The mission of the JCK Industry Fund is to help aid, assist and improve the jewelry industry,” said Senior Vice President of JCK Events Yancy Weinrich. “JCK believes that it is our responsibility to help give back and support the industry through individuals, groups or associations that continue to make a difference.”
The Industry Fund advisory committee, which consists of retailers, manufacturers and members of the JCK team, will judge the entries and select the winners.
Since the fund’s launch in 1997, it’s awarded more than $5.5 million in grant money. Last year, the Diamond Empowerment Fund, Jewelers’ Security Alliance, Jewellers Vigilance Canada, Jewelers Vigilance Committee, Jewelers of America and Diamond Council of America were all grant recipients.
