The Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation (RBFF) awarded three education grants to youth-focused boating, fishing and conservation organizations across the country in 2011.
FY 2012 Grant Recipients:

– Develops and directs national instructor trainings to assist state aquatic-education partners, parks-and-recreation professionals, community civic organizations and school teachers in acquiring hands-on training to implement fishing and aquatic-conservation education with their students.
- International Game Fish Association (IGFA) – Provides students and teachers with a variety of activities including fishing clinics, live touch tank demonstrations, safe boating practices, casting, rigging and knot-tying demonstrations. IGFA has firmly established its Outreach Education Program in Florida and will continue to expand the program to other states.
