Due to a reallocation of funding priorities, the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation will not be soliciting proposals for funding activities through the Ernest F. Hollings Ocean Awareness Trust Fund in this fiscal year, July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009. The NMSF does anticipate issuing an RFP for this grants program after July 1, 2009, so please continue to check our web site for updates. If you would like to be added to an email list to receive the RFP when it is issued, please email that request to grants@NMSFocean.org. In the meantime, we encourage you to explore our web site to find out more about the Foundation and the past grants issued through the Hollings Ocean Awareness Trust Fund.
