Deadline for AFTCO grants approaches

As the deadline of March 31 draws near, B.A.S.S. Nation Clubs are reminded to submit their applications for the AFTCO x B.A.S.S. Nation Conservation Grant Program. This initiative, continuing its support for conservation endeavors nationwide, aims to provide essential funds to approved freshwater bass conservation projects proposed by B.A.S.S. Nation clubs.

Launched in 2018, the Conservation Grant Program has aided numerous conservation projects. With a total AFTCO contribution exceeding $120,000 in grants to date, this partnership underscores a shared commitment to preserving and enhancing local fisheries.

The collaborative efforts between AFTCO and B.A.S.S. Nation Conservation have advanced community and youth-oriented conservation initiatives. By fostering these projects, both organizations align with their overarching goals of environmental stewardship and community engagement.

B.A.S.S. Nation Clubs are urged to finalize and submit their applications before the approaching deadline. This presents an opportunity to secure funding and make a tangible difference in freshwater bass conservation efforts across the nation.

Proposals will be judged by a panel that includes representatives from B.A.S.S. and AFTCO. Send questions to Gene Gilliland at ggilliland@bassmaster.com.

Applications can be submitted here.
