Saltonstall-Kennedy Grant Program (FY09)
The Saltonstall-Kennedy Act established a fund (known as the S-K fund) that the Secretary of Commerce uses to provide grants or cooperative agreements for fisheries research and development projects addressing aspects of U. S. fisheries, including, but not limited to, harvesting, processing, marketing,
and associated infrastructures.
U. S. fisheries include any fishery, commercial or recreational, that is, or may be, engaged in by citizens or nationals of the United States, or citizens of the Northern Mariana Islands (NMI), the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Republic of Palau, and the Federated States of Micronesia.

We support cultural and gender diversity in our programs and encourage women and minority individuals and groups to submit applications.
Furthermore, we recognize the interest of the Secretaries of Commerce and Interior in defining appropriate fisheries policies and programs that meet the needs of the U. S. insular areas, so we also encourage applications from individuals, government entities, and businesses in U. S. insular areas.
We are strongly committed to broadening the participation of Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), which include Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, and Tribal Colleges and Universities, in our programs, including S-K.
Therefore, we encourage all applicants to include meaningful participation of MSIs.
We encourage applications from members of the fishing community, and applications that involve fishing community cooperation and participation.
We will consider the extent of fishing community involvement when evaluating the potential benefit of funding a proposal.
You are not eligible to submit an application under this program if you are an employee of any Federal agency; a Fishery Management Council; or an employee of a Council.
However, Council members who are not Federal employees can submit an application to the S-K Program

Keeping Half the Profits Beats Non-profits for Social Impact
Melbourne social enterprise Who Gives A Crap sold nearly 3 million rolls of toilet paper in 2014/15 and gave half the proceeds to WaterAid Australia, but co-founder Simon Griffiths says the donation would have been less had the startup adopted a non-profit model when it launched two years ago.
