Clean Water Grant Program
BoatU.S. Foundation Invites Applications for Clean Water Grant Program
A program of the Boat U.S. Foundation, the Clean Water Grant Program is designed to fund projects that educate the public about actions they can take to reduce their impact on the environment while boating.
The focus topic for the 2007 Clean Water Grant Program is preventing marine debris and raising the awareness of the problems associated with marine debris among all boaters. All applications with any clean water topic will be accepted. Applications with a majority of the project devoted to the marine debris topic will be given preferential treatment.
The foundation seeks projects that reflect a unique and repeatable way to reach boaters with upbeat, clean boating messages. Allowable expenses may include artwork, printing, mailing, educational materials, construction supplies, and other expenses directly related to an applicant's outreach activities.
Eligible applicants include volunteer boating groups, clubs, and associations; and local nonprofit/tax-exempt organizations, including chapters of national organizations.
Grants will be for up to $4,000 each.
Grant guidelines and application forms are available at the BoatU.S. Foundation Web site.
