Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2013 National Non Profit Organization Boating Safety Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number DHS-USCG-2013-001) is a discretionary U.S. Coast Guard funding opportunity designed to strengthen recreational boating safety efforts at the national level through support of eligible national nonprofit public service organizations. It sits under the broader framework created by the Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971, later recodified under Title 46 of the United States Code, which expanded Coast Guard authority in response to major growth in recreational boating. That legislation enabled several key safety-related functions, including boat construction standards, oversight of defect corrections, operator requirements, and a state financial assistance program intended to encourage cooperative work between the Coast Guard and state boating safety programs.
Most boating safety financial assistance funding is distributed to states and eligible U.S. territories using a formula established in law. This particular opportunity reflects a smaller, targeted portion of that overall funding stream. Specifically, under 46 USC Part 131, the Coast Guard may set aside up to 5 percent of the total state financial assistance available in a given year to make awards to qualified national nonprofit organizations. The purpose of that set-aside is to support activities tied to the National Recreational Boating Safety Program, meaning projects that have national reach or national program value rather than efforts limited to a single state formula allocation.
The award mechanism for this program is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the Coast Guard expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work compared to a standard grant. The program is listed under CFDA 97.012 (Boating Safety Financial Assistance), and the funding activity category is identified as boating safety. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which means proposals are not required to include non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. In other words, the competition is aimed at qualifying nonprofit organizations that function as public service organizations and are positioned to deliver boating safety work at a national level in support of Coast Guard recreational boating safety priorities.
Key dates provided in the announcement show it was posted on November 16, 2012, with an application closing date of January 25, 2013 (no later extension reflected in the source details). The opportunity was archived on February 24, 2013, which typically indicates the application window has closed and the listing is maintained for record purposes. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Carlin Hertz, Non Profit Grants Coordinator, at (202) 372-1060.
