About this program
The Federal Emergency Management Agency administers the Fire Management Assistance Grant program (CFDA 97.046) to provide supplemental assistance to State, Tribal, and local governmental entities for fire mitigation and management, with the most recent award issued on August 27, 2026.
The program funds repair and replacement of disaster-damaged facilities following fire events. Recent awards reflect a mix of large-dollar allocations and smaller project-level grants, ranging from under $2 thousand to over $55 million. Representative recent awards include $55.2 million to repair or replace disaster-damaged facilities (October 2024), $17.7 million for facility restoration in Texas (July 2025), and $16.9 million for Texas disaster recovery (November 2024). A single cooperative agreement with the 129th Air National Guard for fire protection activities was obligated at $3.5 million in October 2025.
The program has distributed $2.68 billion in federal dollars across 664 awards since 2004. The award cadence has ranged from 30 to 52 awards annually over the past five years, with 16 awards recorded year-to-date in 2026. Funding is concentrated almost entirely within FEMA itself: Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards accounts for 362 awards and $2.3 billion in federal obligations, while Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters accounts for 300 awards and $372.1 million. The Department of the Air Force has funded only 2 awards totaling $11.4 million. The assistance portfolio is predominantly Project Grants (661 of 664 awards), with three Cooperative Agreements. Recipients receive matching or cost-share contributions from non-federal sources, with combined federal and non-federal obligations totaling $2.72 billion.
No recent grant opportunities are currently posted in the source material. All recent awards are Project Grants to local governments for facility restoration with completion dates ranging from September 2025 through October 2027.
