To increase recreational boater safety on the water and strengthen the boating safety culture nationwide by expanding the content and promotion of the boat live 365 program

This federal Project Grant award of $180,000.00 from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Coast Guard, under the Boating Safety Financial Assistance program (CFDA 97.012), aims to increase recreational boater safety on the water and strengthen the boating safety culture nationwide. The grant will support the expansion of the content and promotion of the Boat Live 365 program, which promotes safe boating practices through educational content, virtual training tools, public awareness campaigns, and targeted initiatives to engage Hispanic boaters. The grant recipient is the United States Power Squadrons, a nationally recognized nonprofit boating organization that focuses on recreational boating safety through education and fellowship for its over 25,000 members. This award builds upon the organization's prior federal grant funding from the U.S. Coast Guard to develop and deploy various boating safety initiatives, including the Boating Skills Virtual Trainer and educational video content for the America's Boating Channel.
