The Clean Boating Foundation (CBF) received a $60,000 check from The Russell Family Foundation yesterday. This investment will be used to fund a staff person who will then help certify boatyards as clean and green. Similar to the Clean Marina Program, which was started with considerable help from NMTA, the Certified Boatyard Program is a voluntary, market-based approach to showcase boatyards that have gone the extra steps to ensure clean water and boating practices. There will be more information in the next President's Report, but we did want to thank Russell for their buy-in at the highest level and considerable support of this new organization.
It should be noted that CBF is an independent organization apart from NMTA. While NMTA has provided the overhead and staff time to get this idea off the ground, CBF will have its distinct 501 C3 status and staff.
