FFI Affiliate Club Benefits
Joining a larger community of fly fishers is beneficial to preserving the legacy of fly fishing for all fish, all waters, and increasing your own opportunities to enjoy the sport. Your club can make a bigger impact by becoming a Affiliate Club of FFI.
Membership Incentive & Industry Partner Program
With FFI's Membership Incentive Program, for every 12 new FFI members your club recruits, your club receives $75 towards the purchase of merchandise in our Industry Partner Program. Our industry leading partners provide products at discounts for club fundraisers, education events, and member recruitment and encouragement in local projects.
Affiliate Club Insurance Program
FFI offers an affordable insurance program to FFI Councils, Charter Clubs, and eligible Affiliate Clubs. The annual policy limits are shared among the councils and clubs subscribing to their respective program. In addition, the policy has an exclusion for communicable diseases, including Covid. The master policy provides:
- Directors and Officers Liability ($1M)
- General Liability ($2M per occurrence/$4M aggregate)
- Council/Charter Club Umbrella coverage ($1M)
- Affiliate Club Umbrella coverage ($2M)
- Hired or non-owned automobile liability coverage ($1M)
- Council/Charter Club Only Participant Medical - ($50,000 per incident)
Open enrollment forms are sent out in June, but clubs can join any time during the year.
Learning Center
FFI's Education Committee has published learning modules for 4 major areas: Casting, Conservation, Fly Fishing Skills, and Fly Tying. Clubs can use the materials to teach and help your members enhance their skills. These comprehensive presentations will soon be accompanied by instructor teaching manuals. Try it out at one of your club meetings.
Conservation & Education
FFI provides grants for conservation and education projects to councils, clubs, and other organizations that are furthering the mission of the organization. Habitat restoration and education activities are a top priority for FFI. In addition, we offer scholarships for students who are focusing on fisheries or conservation type degrees.
FFI also recognizes our members, through the Awards Program, for their work in conservation and education. Call FFI HQ for more information on grants and awards. Applications are accepted year round.
