The mission of the Kay Bain Weiner Educational Glass Art Foundation, known as the KBW Foundation, is to stimulate interest and growth in the industry through educational projects. One of the goals of the group is to attract more people into the glass arena by providing scholarships, supplies, and books to high schools, colleges, and other educational venues.

In the last four years, the KBW Foundation has donated 61,000 surplus books to high schools, colleges, and other educational venues that offer glass-art classes. The foundation has given 21 scholarships for various workshops held during art-glass conferences conducted in the United States.

Retailers, studios, artists, manufacturers, publishers, distributors and interested parties will benefit by getting involved with the foundation. We encourage any interested parties to contact us and participate in the growth of the art glass industry.
