FEMA has announced that it will open a second round of COVID-19 response grants as part of its Supplemental Assistance to Firefighter Grant Program. Expected to open in the fall, these FY20 AFG-S grants will be available to volunteer and combination departments for the purchase of PPE and other supplies for COVID-19 response.
Volunteer and combination fire departments will be eligible to apply in the second round if they received funding in the first round. However, applications must support new capabilities. Applications from the first round will not automatically carry forward to the second round for consideration.
FEMA is hosting workshops for departments interested in learning how to apply for funding under the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Programs.
Webinars are to be held September 1st, 3rd, and 5th. For times and to register, visit the FEMA website.
