Access to the Great Lakes Fishery

Funding Priorities and Guidelines

FishingThe Great Lakes Fishery Trust (GLFT) funds capital improvement projects that improve or create new tribal and/or shore-based recreational access to fish for Great Lakes species. Proposals will be evaluated according to the GLFT's Tribal and Recreational Fishing Access Grant Guidelines.

Do not use this application if your project involves the acquisition of property. For more information and the request for proposals specific to land acquisition projects, click here. While projects that include property acquisition have different proposal requirements, the application deadline is the same as the Access to the Great Lakes Fishery deadline.

Who Can Apply?

Proposals are only accepted from educational, governmental, tribal, and nonprofit institutions with a 501(c)(3) designation from the IRS.

Fishing Access Application Deadline and Materials

Applications will be accepted until 5:00 PM on September 9, 2008 and must be submitted through the GLFT eGRANT system. The eGRANT system will guide you through the application process. You will be required to input answers into fields and upload certain information as PDF files. If you do not have the software to create or merge documents into a single PDF file, we recommend you visit the Adobe Acrobat website.

If you are unable to use the eGRANT system and/or you have further questions about the proposal process, please contact Shivaugn Rayl Andrews at sandrews@glft.org or (517) 371-7468.

All applicants will be notified of the board decision in mid-November. Grant awards will be available to successful applicants immediately upon formal action by the board.
