Each year the
BoatU.S. Foundation selects local nonprofit
organizations to promote clean boating
education through our grant program. We are
always looking for the most innovative and
effective ways to reach people with this
message.
As a 2004 Clean Water Grant Recipient, your
organization is eligible for the 2005
Leadership in Clean Boating Outreach Award
which has a cash award of $500. You will be
automatically eligible by completing your
grant project and providing the grant
administrator with your final report by May
30, 2005.
A committee,
made up of staff from the BoatU.S.
Foundation, will serve as judges for this
national award. Your final report must
contain a summary of the project, photos,
any sample items, and receipts accounting
for the funding provided. The committee will
further evaluate projects based on the
following characteristics:
- New and
innovative ways to educate.
-
Resourceful and efficient use of grant
funds.
- Quality
and professionalism of work.
- Use of
positive Do messages rather than relying
on negative Don’t messages.
- The
organization's flexibility and
effectiveness in ability to carry out
the project in a prompt manner.
- The
grant recipient that is chosen by the
committee for the Leadership in Boating
Safety Outreach Award will receive the
following benefits:
- An
additional $500 will be given to the
organization to supplement the goals of
the project.
- A press
release to be distributed in their local
area recognizing them as the recipient
of that year’s
-
Leadership in Boating Safety Outreach
Award.
- A
national press release that will
incorporate the winner of the 2005
Leadership in Clean Boating Outreach
Award with the announcement of the 2005
Clean Water Grant recipients.
-
Recognition of their work on the
BoatU.S. Foundation Website.
This is an
exciting new aspect of our grant program. We
look forward to receiving your final report!
