The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) is looking for sportfishing, boating, and aquatic education programs that could use some financial assistance. As part of its efforts to re-engage youth, the PFBC is offering grants to organizations and local agencies involved in providing these types of programs.
Grantees can receive up to $5,000 as part of the PFBC’s Sportfishing and Aquatic Resource Education Grants. This funding can be applied to the purchase of equipment, materials and costs associated with field trips.
This year, the Commission awarded 10 grants from 18 applicants totaling approximately $50,000; in 2007 it awarded 18 grants from 47 applicants totaling approximately $67,000. A list and description of funded projects can be found on the PFBC website at http://www.fish.state.pa.us/grants.htm. The deadline for submitting grant applications is Jan. 31, 2009. Successful applicants will be notified by April 15, 2009, and funding will be awarded four to eight weeks after all agreements are finalized. Applications, program rules and eligibility information are available at the Commission’s website at www.fishandboat.com or by calling 717-705-7835.
