Grant Writing

There are millions of grant dollars available annually to support municipal and/or volunteer fire and EMS departments. By leveraging these funds, your departmental budgets can stretch a bit further. Utilizing grant funding also allows you to specifically target areas that are of interest to your members (not just to the larger governing bodies of your towns or districts). Grant funding is available for “minor” expenses such as traffic cones or station upgrades and for “major” expenses such as apparatus and staffing.

Grant writing is an art, and we can help you craft your proposals. We will help you add empirical data to support your requests and will ensure that your entire grant package is compelling, polished, and professional.

We maintain a database of potential grant opportunities and agencies (ranging from federal agencies to philanthropic organizations) that have a track record of funding first responders. Work with us to assess your needs, determine which funding opportunities are the best fit, and craft your applications. We will help you with everything from compiling administrative documentation to tailoring your statement of purpose to best align with the missions of the particular granting agencies of choice. When you are awarded funding, we can help you track, compile, and submit all required reports and other documentation.
