Grants and Awards
Through the efforts of member volunteers who use their business skills to seek out and apply for grants and corporate awards, ARC has been fortunate to receive funding from various sources for upgrades to the club's facilities and equipment, including docks, safety equipment and oars. The major granting agencies include:
- New York State Hudson River Estuary Program (HREP),
- Hudson River Foundation's Hudson River Improvement Fund (HRIF),
- Hudson River Valley Greenway, and
- Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region's Standish Family Fund.
