A local outdoor trust is now accepting applications for its 2022 funding cycle.
The FORWARD Endowment was established to fund projects focused on hunting, fishing, conservation, and related education.
FORWARD stands for Friends of Resources, Wildlife, And Recreational Development and was founded by the Manitowoc Unit of County Fish & Game.
Dean Halverson, Chair of the Gift Committee, said they’re restructuring the trust format to better meet its founding goals.
Halverson added, “We are working on some updates to allow for more funding to be available and for the endowment to meet the original goals of its founders to help get important projects done in Manitowoc County.”
FORWARD has announced approximately $4,000 in funding will be available this giving cycle with grant applications accepted through December 31st.
The group has automated the applications, which can be accessed at MantyFG.org.
