GRANT REPORTING for life jacket loaner program hosts

Life jackets are part of the nationwide Sea Tow Foundation^TM Life Jacket Loaner Program funded by grants. In order to provide accurate reports to the funding agencies, it is critical for each group's loaner station’s life jacket inventory to be counted during 3 months of the summer season with 2 additional reports required - the Loaner Program Host Report is due by October 1, 2026, and the One-Year Program report will be due by July 31, 2027. For 2026 Grantees, once all reports are submitted by the end of July 2027, your grant reporting requirements will be fulfilled.
