About this program
The Federal Emergency Management Agency is no longer making awards under this program, with the most recent grant disbursed on September 25, 2010 (16 years ago). CFDA 97.115, the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (ARRA), funded fire departments to enhance their operational capabilities and finance construction, upgrading, or rehabilitation of fire stations. No grant opportunities are currently open or have been posted recently.
The program operated as a time-limited American Recovery and Reinvestment Act initiative. Between September 2009 and September 2010, FEMA made 71 Project Grant awards totaling $82 million in federal dollars obligated, with combined federal and non-federal obligation reaching $83.4 million. The 2009 cohort comprised 67 awards and the 2010 cohort 4 awards, reflecting the program's wind-down. Representative recent awards include $5 million to support fire department capabilities (EMW2009FC0429, June 2010), $4.7 million for firefighter grants (EMW2009FC0484, September 2009), and $3.9 million for fire department enhancements (EMW2009FC0365, September 2009). Several awards included negative obligated amounts representing adjustments or de-obligations from prior disbursements.
All 71 awards were structured as Project Grants, exclusively funded by FEMA. Award magnitudes ranged from under $100 thousand to approximately $5 million, with typical awards in the $1.5 million to $3.5 million range. Program activity was confined to the 2009–2010 funding cycle and does not represent an active acquisition opportunity.
