AMSEA Mini-Grant Program
For the sixth consecutive year AMSEA is offering mini-grants to help fund cold-water and boating safety training and education projects in Alaska. Grant applications must be received at AMSEA’s Sitka office no later than 5:00 PM, Alaska Time, Friday November 16, 2007.
See a list of past AMSEA mini-grant award winners.
These grants are intended to increase or enhance safety training and education for high-risk groups such as commercial fishermen or children. The funds are available only to AMSEA-trained educators and instructors who are actively teaching or supporting boating or cold-water safety.
Grants are limited to a maximum of $4,000 per project.
Proposals for less than $4,000 are encouraged to allow for a variety of projects.
A team of AMSEA staff and board members will review all proposals.
Indirect charges are not allowed on these mini-grants.
Applicants are encouraged to apply for projects that will help train new AMSEA instructors in underserved areas of Alaska. Travel expenses, tuition and other support may be requested for AMSEA’s Marine Safety Instructor Training or Youth Educator workshops. If funding is sought for attendance at AMSEA train-the-trainer classes, a letter of support from a supervisor, if applicable, must be included, verifying the applicant’s ability to deliver training. Previously trained AMSEA instructors or educators are welcome to apply for additional training.
Mini-grants will be awarded for projects to be completed within 12 months unless otherwise arranged. Grant applications must be received at AMSEA’s Sitka office no later than 5:00 PM, Alaska Time, Friday November 16, 2007. Proposals sent electronically are preferred to facilitate reviews. Awards will be announced November 30, 2007.
