More Fish Partnership Fund Issues Request for Proposals

 

 

 

The 47-state B.A.S.S. Federation Nation ( http://www.bassmaster.com/federation/ ) and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation ( http://www.nfwf.org/

) have announced a new partnership to reach out and build the capacity of the B.A.S.S. Federation Nation in on-the-ground implementation of the National Fish Habitat Action Plan.

 

The foundation and B.A.S.S., through its State Federation Nation Program, are launching a grant program called the More Fish Partnership Fund that will provide funding for community-based aquatic restoration projects involving volunteers, youth, and other anglers. The goal is to improve awareness about aquatic resources by supporting both grassroots capacity building and habitat conservation projects.

 

Under this program, small grants of between $10,000 and $30,000 each, and leadership grants of up to $100,000 each will be awarded competitively by NFWF.

 

Proposed activities eligible for funding will include aquatic habitat restoration and protection, water quality improvement,aquatic vegetation management, landowner outreach and stewardship training, and watershed planning and management. The program will provide a significant opportunity to demonstrate on-the-ground commitment to improving conditions for fisheries nationwide. Priority will be given to projects that directly implement the recommendations of the National Fish Habitat Action Plan and/or state wildlife action plans. Matching funds will be required on a 1:1 basis or better.

Applicants representing B.A.S.S. Clubs, local nonprofits, educational institutions, tribes, conservation districts, or local governments are eligible the apply. Community groups without nonprofit status are encouraged to seek an eligible sponsor/fiscal agent.
