The BoatU.S. Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water has a great way for your local non-profit boating organi-zation to help keep our waterways safe—but time is running out.
The Foundation’s Boating Safety Grant program offers individual grants of up to $4,000 for boating safety projects. However, to have a chance at funding organizations need to apply by the Nov. 1 deadline. A total of $50,000 is avail-able for this campaign.
Over the past 20 years, the Founda-tion has awarded over $800,000 to or-ganizations that have developed crea-tive projects to promote safe boating on local waterways.
Some of them include producing movie theatre public service announce-ments, flying a blimp with safety mes-saging above popular boating spots, and the creation of an interactive, down-loadable chart highlighting local safety concerns.
While all applications will be consid-ered, the foundation will give preferen-tial consideration to grant proposals that incorporate new and innovative ideas that focus on how to reduce alco-hol related fatalities.
To download an application and learn more about these boating safety grants, visit BoatUS.com/foundation or call 800-245-2628, ext. 8354.
Grant applications must be e-mailed or postmarked on or before Nov. 1, and will be announced in January 2009.
West Cape May – The amount of TV shows airing is getting out of hand. Less movies are being produced today than ever before. Instead, people are glued to watching shows that most people never heard of.
