Opportunity Summary:
The National Non Profit Organization Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number DHS-USCG-2015-001) is a discretionary U.S. Coast Guard funding opportunity offered under the National Recreational Boating Safety Program. Its core aim is to reduce recreational boating accidents, injuries, and fatalities across Americas waterways while helping ensure the public has a safer and more enjoyable boating experience. A secondary emphasis is strengthening nonprofit participation and encouraging more consistent, uniform boating safety efforts nationwide, so that safety messaging and practices are better coordinated and more effective across different regions and communities.
This opportunity uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which generally means the Coast Guard expects to have substantial involvement in the work compared with a standard grant. The activity category is listed as "Other," with the clarification that it focuses on Recreational Boating Safety. The program is associated with CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number 97.012, titled Boating Safety Financial Assistance.
The Coast Guard anticipated making about 30 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $5,300,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated, which means applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. Key dates for this specific notice include a posted and creation date of November 19, 2014, with an application deadline of February 13, 2015. The opportunity was later archived on March 15, 2015, indicating the competition is no longer open, but the details remain useful as a reference for similar Coast Guard boating safety funding opportunities.
