  COLUMBUS, OH - A Boating Safety Education Grant Program workshop, which provides guidance and training in the grant application process, will be held on Thursday, September 18 by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Watercraft at its Alum Creek Area Office and Learning Center, 3305 North Old State Road in Delaware. The free workshop details the boating education grant application guidelines and funding priorities.
  
More than $365,000 in grant funding is provided annually through the Waterways Safety Fund to community-based organizations to provide boating safety education programs for Ohioans. Individual grants ranging from $1,000 to $30,000 per program are competitively awarded on a cost share basis with the applicant matching at least 25 percent of the total boating education program cost.
 
In January, a total of $364,417 was awarded to 33 grant recipients to provide boating safety education programs statewide in 2008.
 
Participants must pre-register to attend the free grant workshop by calling the Division of
Watercraft at (614) 265-6674. Boating Safety Education Grant applications for 2009 must be submitted to the Division of Watercraft and postmarked on or before October 24, 2008.
