Grant Details:
Application Due Date: March 2014 est

Description: 

The Virginia Department of Forestry (VDOF) has been notified that we will receive Volunteer Fire Assistance (VFA) grant money this year.  All grants are a 50-50 cash match grant. You may apply for any amount and any Fire Related items you need, but no single item should cost more than $5,000.00. Remember there are limited funds. All grants are a 50-50 cash match grant.

We will be placing a high priority rating on those grants that are purchasing Wildland Personal Protective Equipment, Wildland Fire Fighting Tools, Communication Equipment, and/or Training Related Items this year. This does not mean that if you do not buy these items, you will not get a grant. However, the safety of Virginia’s Wildland Firefighters is a major priority for the Department of Forestry.

Your completed original grant application and federal forms must be postmarked no later than March 31, 2013. You will be notified if your Fire Department is awarded a grant.
