SMALL PROJECT GRANTS

ATTENTION MEMBERS: The Cal-Neva Chapter of AFS has created a ‘Small Grants Program’ to provide funding to fisheries-related projects in California and Nevada.  Our goal is to fund at least two grants, for a total of $3,000 across all grants.  This money can be used to get a project started or to supplement funding from other sources.  In 2023 the following dates apply: Application open period from March 20 – May 5, 2023. The Grant Committee will then review and select grantees by June 2, 2023. The Grant Committee would include the Travel and Grants Committee Chair, one volunteer from the Executive Committe, and the officers.
