About this opportunity
The Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program, administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), provides financial assistance to eligible fire departments, nonaffiliated emergency medical service (EMS) organizations, and State Fire Training Academies (SFTAs). The program aims to equip and train emergency personnel, outfit responders with compliant personal protective equipment, fund facility modifications, acquire emergency response vehicles, and design health, wellness and resiliency programs. Eligible applicants can submit proposals through the FEMA Grants Outcomes (GO) system, with an application period open from November 12 to December 20, 2024. Awards will be evaluated based on factors such as the applicant's financial need, the project's impact on operations, and its alignment with program priorities.
The FY 2024 AFG Program has a total of $291,600,000 available, with an anticipated 2,000 awards to be made. Individual grant amounts will vary based on the applicant type and population served, subject to cost-share requirements. The period of performance for awarded projects is 24 months, with activities to be carried out within the grantees' local service areas across the United States.
