Snowmobile Club Relief Fund

Information on the Snowmobile Club Relief Fund Program

The Governor has authorized the allocation of $250,000 from the state’s CARES ACT Coronavirus Relief Funds to provide economic support to New Hampshire Snowmobile Clubs suffering from fund raising interruptions as a result of COVID-19. Specifically, it supports both (1) snowmobile clubs that did not receive grants from the initial round of MSRF or the General Assistance & Preservation (GAP) Fund, and (2) snowmobile clubs that received grants of less than the maximum $350,000 from the initial round of MSRF or the GAP Fund, if eligible. Snowmobile Clubs that received a Self Employed Livelihood Fund (SELF) grant are not eligible for SCRF.

For assistance, contact the NH Snowmobile Association (NHSA) at (603) 273-0220 from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday, or via email director@nhsa.com.
