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.
