Grants of up to $500 are available to high school fishing clubs from the Missouri Department of Conservation. These grants are being offered to help high school clubs provide quality fishing programs for students.
These funds can be used to help with travel, equipment or other needs of the club. However, they cannot be used to pay coaches or other advisers.
“We hope this grant will help develop young men and women with an appreciation for the outdoors and conservation, along with sharing their passion for fishing with others,” MDC fisheries programs specialist Andrew Branson said.
In order for clubs to be selected for these funds, they must agree to participate in at least one of six specified conservation activities. These activities range from assisting with MDC projects to participating in a Rod and Reel Loaner program to becoming a Missouri Stream Team and participating in one activity.
To apply, interested schools or club leaders can submit an online grant application at https://bit.ly/2RphowQ (Please note: this hyperlink is case-sensitive).
