Event Sponsorships

NH Sea Grant welcomes proposals for Event Sponsorships at any time. Decisions regarding event sponsorships are made on a discretionary basis by the NH Sea Grant Executive Committee and depend on available funds.

Any organization that works to educate, promote, or present research that falls within NH Sea Grant’s priorities and goals are welcome to apply. Please view the NH Sea Grant Strategic Plan to familiarize yourself with our focus areas, priorities, and goals.

Sponsorships range from $100 to $1,000, and only one sponsorship award per year is usually approved for an organization.

Apply through our online eSeaGrant portal:

• Prepare the application elements you will be asked to submit
• Go to: https://eseagrant.unh.edu/
• Log in or create an account if you have not previously submitted a proposal (research funding or event sponsorship) with NH Sea Grant
• Select "Event Sponsorship (Full-Proposal)" and click on "Add."
