boating facilities grants

Grant funding for various boating facility improvements is anticipated to be available through the Department’s Boating Facilities Program. Congress allocates annual funds to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to support these programs that are largely restricted to on-the-ground activities and enhance boating access and facilities for the recreational boater and angler on Arizona waterways. There are two different grant programs: Boating Infrastructure Grants (BIG) and Clean Vessel Act Grants (CVA). For this year (FY 2024), there is just one manual and one application form for both BIG and CVA. Use separate application forms if you are applying for both grants.

Applications are currently being accepted for FY 2024 BIG and FY2024 CVA grants.
