2004 Grant Recipients - BSG |
|
Visit any marina or waterfront community
and you’ll find volunteers working hard
to keep our waterways safe for boaters.
To help these volunteers continue their
good work, the BoatU.S. Foundation for
Boating Safety & Clean Water has awarded
over $45,000 in grants to nonprofit
groups which spread the message about
safe boating practices.
The Foundation received over 114
applications for its 2004 Boating Safety
Grant cycle. Of these, 25 groups from
Alabama to Washington were selected to
receive grants. With this year’s grant
focus on the dangers of CO poisoning, 12

their grant programs. |
