The Gear Reimbursement Grant (GRG) aids residents of APICDA CDQ member communities who participate in commercial fisheries and/or subsistence harvesting activities. The goal of the program is to assist residents in obtaining new and efficient gear to maximize their harvest efforts by providing financial assistance in the form of reimbursement for a portion of the incurred costs. APICDA will reimburse 50% of the total qualified purchase(s) for commercial fishing and subsistence gear expenses. Residents may amend their application throughout the application period to meet the commercial fishing and/or subsistence grant maximums.

Eligibility Requirements:

• Resident of Akutan, Atka, False Pass, Nelson Lagoon, Nikolski, or St. George
• Age 18 or older and physically able to participate in subsistence and/or commercial fisheries
• Submit a complete application with all required items during the application period (March 1 - December 1)
