INTERESTED IN STARTING A FIREWISE COMMUNITY?

Listed below is information for funding fire prevention projects in your neighborhood.

1) National Fire Plan Wildland-Urban Interface Program

Funded by National Park Service/Wildland-Urban Interface Initiative.
Federal funding is available for community-based wildland fire protection projects. Proposals are submitted to the Sacramento Regional Foundation for BLM Wildfire Prevention Grants or to the National Park Service, for projects near Point Reyes National Seashore or Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

2) Grants Clearinghouse

Welcome to grants.firesafecouncil.org. This grants clearinghouse site is made possible by National Fire Plan grants from California Fire Alliance member agencies. The Alliance is providing this pilot service to make it easier for communities statewide to find grants to reduce their wildfire risk, and to get technical assistance.

The clearinghouse gives eligible organizations the ability to apply to multiple programs with one concept paper. It gives funding agencies the ability to coordinate planning, and to consider funding projects they might otherwise not know about.

The Fire Safe Council facilitates the clearinghouse by providing technical assistance to applicants, shepherding concept papers to funding agencies and, for some agencies, passing through grants to organizations.

Grantwriting sessions will be offered in six cities in California in November. To see the schedule and sign up to attend a grantwriting session.

To learn more about this clearinghouse and eligibility, see the overview. To learn how to apply for a National Fire Plan grant through this clearinghouse, see the instructions. To apply for a grant, sign in using the form to the right. To learn more about the California Fire Alliance, visit www.cafirealliance.org.

We hope the site simplifies your National Fire Plan grant application process.

Please let us know what you think of the clearinghouse; your comments will help us improve the service. Send an e-mail to grants@firesafecouncil.org.
