Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2013 National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number DHS-13-USFA-101-000-01) is a discretionary federal grant administered under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA, tied to the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) grant activity category. Its core purpose is to support the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) in carrying out the planning, direction, and management of the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend. The program is rooted in multiple legal authorities, including the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Executive Order 12127, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation Act (Public Law 105-225), and the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974 (as amended). Collectively, these authorities establish the federal role and the NFFF-USFA partnership framework for honoring firefighters who died in the line of duty and for conducting the nationally recognized memorial weekend activities.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity was structured as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) and categorized under CFDA 97.101 (National Fallen Firefighters Memorial). The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1), which signals that it was not a broad, competitive grant open to many organizations but rather a targeted award designed to fund the designated entity responsible for the memorial weekend. Consistent with that structure, eligibility was limited to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, explicitly listed as the eligible applicant in the announcement. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted and created on August 1, 2013, with an application closing date of August 12, 2013, and an archive date of September 11, 2013. The listing shows an award ceiling of $0 and an award floor of $0; in federal postings, that sometimes appears when the exact funding amount is not displayed in the summary record or is handled through internal or linked documentation rather than stated in the top-line fields. The announcement directs interested parties to Grants.gov for full details, and it provides a FEMA Grants Management Directorate (GMD) Systems Branch contact (GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov) for technical issues accessing the full announcement electronically.
In practical terms, the opportunity is best understood as a continuation or formalization of federal support for the memorial weekend rather than a general fire service grant program for equipment, staffing, or local operational needs. The deliverable focus is the national-level memorial event and its associated planning and management activities, carried out by the NFFF in cooperation with USFA, aligning with the statutory mission to honor fallen firefighters and support the ceremonial and programmatic elements of the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend.
