Non-Disaster and Assistance to Firefighter Grants
Description
The Grant Programs Directorate strategically and effectively administers and manages FEMA grants to ensure critical and measurable results for customers and stakeholders. The grants represented in this dataset are Preparedness (Non-Disaster or ND) Grants and Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG).rnrnND Grants and AFG are awarded and managed differently within the Grants Program Directorate (GPD) and should be treated with discretion.rnrnThe only measure in this dataset is Award Amount. It is an additive measure that can be applied across multiple dimensions to create various views of the data.rnrnAFG awards are assigned to individual Fire Departments. ND Grants are typically assigned to state agencies; however, exceptions do exist such as Port Security Grant Program which is assigned to port areas and not States. It is important to know that when looking at Award Amount by State it does not mean the State actually received that money. In addition, some grant programs may have pass-through requirements where the recipient State is required to sub-grant a minimum amount of the award and only retain a portion of the award.rnrnGrants guidance is described in the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). Each grant program has its own grant guidance containing eligibility requirements, program objectives, and funding restrictions which are published annually. FOAs are public documents and may be found online at www.fema.gov/grants.rnrnFor more information on grants, visit https://www.fema.gov/grants/preparedness and https://www.fema.gov/grants/preparedness/firefighters rnrnIf you have media inquiries about this dataset, please email the FEMA News Desk at FEMA-News-Desk@dhs.gov or call (202) 646-3272.
