Established in 2010, the Grants Management Branch is responsible for the overall grant administrative process. The Branch works closely with the program staff in the Division of Boating Safety ensuring Coast Guard compliance with OMB and DHS Directives and Policy as well as grantee compliance.

The Grants Management Branch provides financial oversight to all Recreational Boating Safety Grant Awards.  This includes the posting of the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), obligations, grantee payments, USAspending.gov uploads, and the scheduling of grants management training.

Current and previous year's grants can be accessed on the respective grants pages below.
