Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2012 National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 12 USFA 101 000 01) was a discretionary federal funding opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA, under the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) grant program umbrella. It was offered as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically means the federal agency expected to have substantial involvement in shaping or overseeing the work as it was carried out. The program was tied to CFDA 97.101, National Fallen Firefighters Memorial, signaling that it supports national-level activities connected to honoring fallen firefighters and documenting firefighter line-of-duty deaths.
At its core, the opportunity had two main purposes. First, it supported the planning, directing, and management of the annual National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Program, which includes the coordination and execution of memorial-related events and associated program activities. Second, it funded work to identify, investigate, and report on all on-duty firefighter fatalities that occurred during calendar year 2010. That investigative and reporting component generally implies collecting and validating incident information, examining circumstances surrounding fatalities, and producing formal documentation that can be used for accountability, historical recordkeeping, and potentially informing future safety and prevention efforts.
Eligibility for this opportunity was narrowly defined. While the general listing shows "Others" under eligible applicants, the specific eligibility information identifies the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation as the eligible applicant. In practice, that means this funding stream was designed as a targeted award to support the Foundation's role in running the national memorial program and conducting the fatality identification and reporting work specified in the announcement.
The estimated total funding available was $225,000. The notice did not specify an award ceiling or award floor (both listed as 0), which in federal postings can indicate that the agency did not set formal per-award minimums or maximums in the public summary, or that the amount was expected to be determined based on the cooperative agreement’s final scope and budget. The opportunity also included a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or approved in-kind support) toward the overall project costs, consistent with the terms laid out in the full announcement.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on August 17, 2012, created in the system on September 5, 2012, and initially set to close on August 31, 2012, with a revised closing date of September 10, 2012. The listing was archived on October 10, 2012. For applicants or stakeholders who had trouble accessing the full announcement, FEMA directed inquiries to the GMD Systems Branch via the provided email contact. The public listing also pointed users to grants.gov as the central location to locate the full announcement details and application instructions.
