The Foundation awards local volunteer organizations
up to $4,000 for the promotion of boating safety
education. Over the past 15 years the Foundation has
awarded over $575,000 to local community
organizations, yacht clubs, flotillas and squadrons.
The Foundation is looking for creative and
innovative projects that promote safe boating on
your local waterway. Topics can range from
literature on the affects of boating under the
influence to signs at boat ramps telling users about
free vessel safety checks.
