Opportunity Summary:
The Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program, Fire Prevention and Safety (FP&S) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: DHS 12 GPD 044 000 98) was a discretionary grant competition administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through FEMA. It fell under the Disaster Prevention and Relief funding activity category and was designed to support projects that improve firefighter and public safety through fire prevention and safety initiatives. The full details of priorities, allowable activities, and application requirements were provided in the official Funding Opportunity Announcement rather than in the brief synopsis.
For this funding cycle, FEMA anticipated making roughly 500 awards, with an estimated total program funding level of $35,000,000. The listing did not specify a formal award ceiling or floor (both were shown as 0), which typically indicates that individual award sizes and minimums were governed by program rules and the specific projects proposed, as described in the announcement. The program was associated with CFDA number 97.044, which corresponds to the broader Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program.
A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning recipients were expected to contribute a portion of project costs from non-federal sources in accordance with the program rules. Eligibility in the summary was listed broadly as "Others" and directed applicants to consult the Funding Opportunity Announcement for clarification, which usually means eligibility could extend beyond a single applicant type and might include specific fire service organizations or other entities involved in prevention and safety work, subject to the program's definitions and limitations.
The opportunity was posted on December 17, 2012, with an application closing date of January 18, 2013 (the original and current closing dates were the same). The record was archived on February 17, 2013, indicating the competition had closed and moved into the post-submission phase (review, selection, and award processing). Applicants or interested parties were directed to FEMA's Fire Prevention and Safety Grants webpage for more information.
For support, FEMA provided the AFG Program Help Desk as the primary contact point for issues accessing the announcement or navigating the process. The help desk could be reached at 1-866-274-0960 or via email at firegrants@dhs.gov.
