Grant Programs.
Several federal and state governments as well as private organizations offer grants for safety initiatives and WAVE fits perfectly into this category, particularly when it comes to children.
Some of our customer facilities have been successful and have received funding to cover the entire or partial cost of implementing WAVE to keep their swimmers safer.
We've put together a basic guide on the grant process to help get you started.
​
Corporate and Private Sponsorships.
Individuals, local companies and even larger national brands are always open to ways to promote their support of the community– particularly when it comes to the safety of children.
Sponsorship of WAVE systems has come from private families, car dealerships, utility companies, local businesses, and even non-profits dedicated to child safety.
WAVE will work with you and these sponsors to advertise their support by co-branding our wearables, signs and literature– all at no cost for your facility.
To start the process, we've created a webpage to inform and inspire potential sponsors to understand the opportunity and benefits of sponsoring a WAVE system at your facility. We recommend forwarding the page to those in your community that you believe could be ideal candidates for sponsorship.
