Grant Program for CMP-Affiliated Groups
By Steve Cooper, CMP Writer
|
CAMP PERRY, OHIO - The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) is pleased to announce the availability of financial assistance grants to CMP-affiliated groups benefitting youth marksmanship projects, activities and events.
“We are very excited to announce the CMP Grant program,” said Christie Sewell, CMP North General Manager. “To support our mission, we look forward to helping deserving CMP-oriented youth marksmanship groups who are in need of a financial boost to get their projects off the ground,” Sewell said.
Grant applications are now available and approved grants will be funded annually beginning in the fall of 2012. Deadline for submitting grant applications is September 1 and decisions on grants by CMP will be made within 30 days.
An “eligible group” is any organization affiliated with the CMP and they must submit an application for a grant for a qualifying project or activity. Applicants seeking to qualify for support shall not discriminate against any member, person or other user of its facilities or equipment on the basis of age, race, color, sex or national origin.
An eligible project must be youth oriented. The project must benefit at least 7 juniors (under age 21) and the funds must be used for expenses related to juniors. The funds will be used for the related activity directly, such as, but not limited to housing, meals, match supplies, etc. Requests must be for “special projects” that are considered above and beyond routine marksmanship activities.
Applicants are expected to provide compelling reasons for requesting the grant and should include detailed descriptions and financial estimates required to carry out the activity, project or event. Activities and projects already sponsored by the CMP are
not eligible for grant consideration.
Applications for the CMP Grant can be acquired from a CMP representative or by submitting a request in writing to: Civilian Marksmanship Program, Attn: Grant Application Department, PO Box 576, Port Clinton, OH 43452 or online at
www.thecmp.org/Clubs/Grants.htm. Incomplete applications
