WAC Grant Program

Anyone currently a member of the WAC may apply. Applications are reviewed and voted upon by the Board of Directors of the WAC. The training you wish to take should not have occurred at the time you apply for a grant. However, a grant can be awarded if the training occurs between the time you apply and when the Board votes to provide the money.

Individual awards are currently targeted to have a maximum value of $300, although higher amounts may be given if the purpose is seen as providing exceptional value to the WAC as a whole. Make a case for it! This program is being funded for FY 2009 (10/01/2009 – 09/30/2010) through the interest income earned on the WAC’s liquid assets. For FY 2009 this amounts to about $2,000. If the entire balance is awarded before the end of FY 2009, no further awards will be given unless the Board votes for additional funding.

Additional information is provided in the application itself. The application is available for download in PDF and Microsoft Word formats via the hyperlinks below.

If you have questions, please send email to treasurer@washingtonalpineclub.org.

Information for Organizers

The WAC Grant program provides money to club members for education and training in areas that are consistent with the mission of the WAC and which are not duplicated through some activity currently offered by WAC. The intention of this program is to encourage members to improve their skill set in outdoor recreational activities and then bring those new skills back into the club to teach others and thereby improve the overall quality of instruction in our own courses. This program is not intended to fund personal climbing trips or expeditions.
