National Nonprofit Organization Recreational Boating Safety (RBS) Grant Program

The National Nonprofit Organization Recreational Boating Safety (RBS) Grant Program aims to reduce accidents, injuries, and deaths on America's waterways by implementing programs that promote boating safety. The program is open to nonprofit organizations with a 501(c)(3) status, and applicants must demonstrate the ability to provide RBS services in all regions. The program has three initiatives: positively influencing recreational boater behavior, positively influencing recreational boat and accessory manufacturers, and leveraging recreational boating data. Applicants can propose projects that address one or more of these initiatives, and the program encourages applicants to focus on areas of interest such as boating safety education, outreach, and enforcement. The grant program will provide funding for projects that align with the program's goals and objectives, and applicants must submit a detailed application package, including an executive summary, organization description, program timeline, program narrative, budget, and budget narrative. The application package will be reviewed based on threshold criteria, application criteria, and financial integrity criteria.
