EMS Grants Announcements

FAIRFAX, Va. — On Feb. 24 at noon EST, the International Association of Fire Chiefs will host a free Webinar, “A Guide to Grant Writing: Finding the Sweet Spot” that will show you how to get more funding for your department.

This free webinar, sponsored by Sprint, an IAFC premier partner, is available exclusively to IAFC members. Visit http://nextel.andlogistix.com/SPRINTGRANTWRITING/register.asp to register.

“Funding is one of the biggest challenges chiefs are facing,” said Chief Bill Killen, IAFC president. “There are millions of dollars ear-marked for pubic safety through federal and state grants. The goal of this webinar is to help IAFC members be first in line for the funding.”

The Assistance to Fire Fighter Grants application window is just around the corner, and there are many more grant opportunities available for the fire service to obtain funds. This grant funding webinar, which will be presented by IAFC member and Charlottesville (Va.) Fire Chief Charles Werner, will cover how to select the right grant, how to give your grant applications the "wow" factor to have it recognized, and what not to do in a grant application. Chief Werner will also share how he has secured more than $6 million in grant funding for his community.
