From the ARRL Letter, May 7, 2022:
Two videos introducing the ARRL Foundation Club Grant Program are now available. The ARRL Foundation Club Grant Program, funded by a grant from Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC), will make $500,000 available to clubs, enabling them to more easily provide and expand club projects, including those that will have a transformative impact on amateur radio, create public awareness and support for amateur radio, and have an educational and training impact. The program will provide up to $25,000 for worthy club projects. A recording from an ARRL webinar introducing the program, which aired on May 4, 2022, is available on ARRL’s YouTube channel. A second video, presented by Jason Johnston, KC5HWB, provides a step-by-step overview of online ARRL Foundation Club Application Process. Johnston’s video, published on May 5, can be viewed on his YouTube channel, Ham Radio 2.0. More information about the Club Grant Program is available at www.arrl.org/club-grant-program.
What this item doesn’t say—but is mentioned in the videos—is that applications are now being accepted. This fund isn’t limitless, so you will have to do a good job crafting your application. Having a good idea and a good plan will enhance your chances of getting one of the grants.
Although this isn’t mentioned on the web page, note that applications are due May 30 for the first set of applications.
