Opportunity Summary:
The National Fallen Firefighter Memorial Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 USFA 101 000 01) was a discretionary grant offered through the U.S. Fire Administration under the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA. Its purpose was to support the continued operation of the annual National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Program, with a specific emphasis on the planning, directing, and overall management of the memorial activities. In practical terms, the funding was intended to help ensure the national memorial effort could be carried out in an organized, consistent way that appropriately honors firefighters who died in the line of duty.
A second core objective of the opportunity was to fund work to identify, investigate, and report on all on-duty firefighter fatalities that occurred during 2009. That reporting function typically involves collecting and validating fatality information, examining circumstances and contributing factors, and producing documentation that supports accurate national records and helps inform the fire service and the public. While the memorial component focuses on commemoration, the fatalities research and reporting component supports accountability and learning so that future tragedies can be prevented where possible.
The program anticipated making a single award, meaning it was structured to fund one organization to carry out the scope of work nationwide rather than distributing multiple smaller grants. The estimated total funding and the maximum award amount were both listed as $387,000, indicating the full program budget for that cycle was expected to go to the one selected recipient. No cost sharing or matching requirement was included, so the recipient was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility was narrowly defined. Rather than being open to states, local governments, or a broad range of nonprofits, the eligible applicant was identified as a specialized group: the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. This indicates the opportunity functioned as a targeted funding action to support a specific nationally recognized organization with an established role in delivering the memorial program and related line-of-duty death tracking and reporting.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on March 15, 2010, with an application closing deadline of April 15, 2010, and it was later archived on May 15, 2010. The listing referenced Grants.gov as the location for additional information, and provided FEMA contact support through the FEMA Call Center at (866) 927-5646 and the email address ASK-GMD@dhs.gov for assistance accessing the full announcement.
