    There is rarely enough money for Amateur Radio clubs to do everything
    they wish to do or to provide all the services to its Members and the
    public they would like to provide.

    But sometimes opportunity does knock.

    Since last summer, the West Gulf has been alerting Oklahoma and Texas
    Clubs that the ARRL Foundation would be offering financial grants to
    Amateur Radio clubs sometime in 2022 and recommending that everyone
    begin assembling their “Christmas” wish lists.

    The ARRL Foundation Grants program has now been officially announced.

    These grants are expected to range from a low of $2,500 to a
    maximum of $25,000 and are available to both ARRL Affiliated Clubs and
    non-ARRL affiliated clubs. Grant applications will start being accepted
    mid-May 2022. Application templates may be found at
    https://www.arrl.org/club-grant-program .

    To assist Clubs in applying for the Foundation Grants, an informational
    webinar will be held by the Foundation on Wednesday evening, May 4, 2022
    starting at 7:00 pm, CST. To participate, you need to register for the
    webinar at:

    https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_4lhqvUdzS1S34tT1u8ZC4Q

    The existence of this Program and the opportunities it offers is
    thanks principally to the diligent efforts and silver tongue of Dr.
    David Woolweaver, K5RAV, the President of the ARRL Foundation from
    2019-2022 and the former West Gulf Division Director from 2011-2019. Due
    to Dr. Woolweaver’s untiring efforts and the generosity of the Amateur
    Radio Digital Communications (“ARDC”) foundation, he successfully
    persuaded the ARDC foundation to partner with the ARRL Foundation to
    provide $500,000.00 to be used to encourage and support Amateur Radio
    clubs.

    Don’t miss the opportunity, as it is expected that the applications
    will exceed the available funds.

    A Second Webinar on Applying for a Grant is here…….

    (why I continue talking to myself in this area is beyond me,  steve KG5VK)

     

    Hello,

     

    We are planning another webinar for the Club Grant Program. This is planned to be a very short update on the program and a question-and-answer session. The schedule is as follows:

     

    Thursday June 9th at 7PM Eastern Time. The video will be on YouTube the next morning. We are planning for a 1-hour event and hope to keep it at that time.

     

    The registration link is https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_d8G7PlunRiGXDN0JJw5HBQ.

     

    I will be sending this to the ACCs and to the Affiliated Clubs on Friday, but you are getting it first. It is also posted on Facebook and other social media.

     

    Thanks

     

    Mike
