Description: The Idaho Fire Chief’s Association (IFCA) announces the 2012 Fire Fighter License Plate (FFLP) Grant program. These grants are awarded annually from available funds received through the Idaho Fire Fighter’s Special License Plate Fund program. The IFCA awards grants based on recommendations of the Fire Fighter’s License Plate Fund Committee that carefully evaluates all applications and establishes grant amounts.

Rules and Guidelines:

1. Each organization, agency or group may submit only one (1) grant application. Fire departments with “joint duties” (a municipal and rural district), that have more than one Idaho FDID number registered with the State Fire Marshal’s IFIRS program, may submit one grant application per FDID number. The FDID number must be provided if you are a fire department applicant. Grant requests from a fire department must have that agency’s head person (Chief, Director, Chairman, etc.) sign (with their signature) in the space provided on the application form.

2. Associations or organizations may submit only one (1) grant application for the parent organization.

3. Any and all surplus or unexpended grant funds MUST be returned to the IFCA. Failure to do so will result in the loss of consideration for additional grants for a period of five years from the year of the initial grant. In special circumstances the FFLP Committee may extend a grant usage period if asked to do so in writing by the grant recipient.

4. Failure to submit the required “closing report” by the end of the grant usage period will result in the loss of consideration for additional grants for a period of five years from the year of the initial grant.

5. All grant applicants must include their Federal Tax ID number (if they have one) or the Applicant’s SSN, and enter that number in the space provided on the application form. (This information will be kept strictly confidential and is for IFCA accountant information purposes only.)

6. Grant awards for commonly requested electronic equipment, specifically laptop computers or LCD projectors, are typically “capped” at a single amount based on current prices of that equipment. (Last year that amount was $600.)

7. Grants are generally “capped” at a maximum possible award of $2,500 to allow funding of as many grant requests as possible. There is no minimum grant amount that may be requested.

8. Grant applications may only be for a single resource (item) or activity

Remember, 2012 Grant Applications must be submitted and received by the IFCA on or before the deadline of July 1. Completed Grant Applications must be mailed to the address below. To obtain additional grant application forms, or a membership application form for the IFCA, please contact:
