The Grant Committee reviews and rates the applications. The ratings determine whether the Committee makes a recommendation to the NSAA Board to approve the application. Preference is given to projects or programs, rather than contributing to organizational operating expenses or administration.
Grant Applicants may receive a call or visit from a member of the ASFW Grant Program Committee for clarification or to potentially request a revision to the Grant Application prior to the final ASFW Committee and NSAA Board approvals.
