The Sea Tow Foundation is accepting grant applications for its Life Jacket Loaner Program for the 2023 boating season. Individuals or groups can apply to host a life jacket loaner station or restock an existing one.
“[This] was an exciting year for the foundation with the opening of our 1,000th life jacket loaner station, and as the program continues to grow, the application process will become increasingly competitive,” Gail R. Kulp, executive director of the Sea Tow Foundation, said in a statement.
The Sea Tow Foundation receives grant funding from the Sport Fishing Restoration & Boating Trust Fund (administered by the Coast Guard) to purchase PFDs and loaner stand building kits that can be distributed to organizations, agencies and businesses. Grant applications will be accepted through Feb. 1.
