Guild Education Foundation was formed in 2006, after several years of
planning, as an affiliate effort of the American Custom Gunmakers
Guild, Inc. It is a 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable educational
foundation. Its efforts will support new gunsmithing (in
particular custom gunmaking) talent, dissemination of educational
information to the custom gunmaking community, and enrichment
opportunities for current custom gunsmiths. Educational opportunities
will include grant-in-aid scholarships to gunsmithing students to
attend the annual seminars and exhibition of members of the American
Custom Gunmakers Guild, scholarships to gunsmithing students with an
interest in custom work, and opportunities for current gunmakers to
increase their knowledge and improve their skills.
Donations to the Education Foundation
