The U.S. Coast Guard supports the recreational boating safety community by funding three grant programs that encourage greater participation and uniformity in boating safety; to reduce the number of accidents, injuries, and deaths on domestic waterways; to permit states, territories, and/or nonprofit organizations to assume the greater share of boating safety education, assistance, and enforcement activities; to assist states, territories, and/or nonprofit organizations in developing, carrying out, and financing their recreational boating safety programs; and to gather important information and data regarding the boating community, the number and different types of boats operated domestically, and how many hours are spent operating on the water.

B - Project Grants

States & Territories: States and Territories must have a Coast Guard-approved boating safety program as described by 46 U.S.C. 131: Recreational Boating Safety. Nonprofits: Organizations do not have to be boating-related, but it must be a nongovernmental organization that has been accorded tax exempt status which is defined as having, or being capable of obtaining an IRS tax exempt classification (26 U.S.C. 501(c)(3)). Boating Safety Survey Grant: Institutions of higher education or other public nonprofit institution/organization, quasi-public nonprofit institution/organization, or other private institution/organization that can sufficiently demonstrate through their application significant experience in their ability to design, manage, and complete a nationwide statistical survey for the Federal Government.
