Background on NMTA Grow Boating
The NMTA established a separate program called Grow Boating in 2003 to promote the benefits and lifestyle of boating in the region. The program’s mission is to increase the number of boaters and encourage current boaters to boat more often through the development of new programs, events and promotions. NMTA’s Grow Boating program is funded by a portion of space rental fees collected by the association at its Seattle Boat Show each January.
In addition to the available grants, NMTA Grow Boating funds a promotional campaign called the Northwest Salmon Derby Series – partnering with 16 derbies around the region to promote and increase participation in those fishing events, free sailboat rides through regional events on Puget Sound, a summer-long promotional partnership with the Seafair festival, new and used boat listings and news and boating event information on SeattleBoatShow.com, and more.
