LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission is seeking grant proposals from Nebraska nonprofit organizations to promote fishing by Hispanics.

The Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation’s Vamos A Pescar program aims to educate Hispanic families about fishing through programs, classes and activities in 2017.

Programs to be considered introduce fishing to youths and families, provide hands-on skills development, teach and reinforce water and boat safety and provide conservation and aquatic stewardship activities.

Organizations must contact Larry Pape at Nebraska Game and Parks by Wednesday. Grant submissions are due to Game and Parks by Oct. 31. Email [email protected] or call 402-471-5447.
