Preparation is the key to grants success


When it comes to successfully securing grants funding, preparation is the key. Long before a grant’s application period nears, departments should gather information about where grant funds could be best utilized. Which areas would best improve your department’s ability to safely train and respond?

Build a strong case for your application by explaining how this new equipment/capability will enhance your department’s response capability. It may also be beneficial to predicate how a lack of funding might negatively affect your department’s operations.
