Opportunity Summary:
The NVFC Volunteer Fire and Emergency Medical Services Resource Initiative is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Fire Administration within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and FEMA. Its central goal is to fund a communications network that keeps the volunteer fire service community informed about important, timely issues that affect them in their role as part of the nation's domestic preparedness and response capabilities. The program is framed around the idea that volunteer fire and emergency services face growing demands in the 21st century, and that maintaining an effective, reliable flow of information is critical for readiness, coordination, and awareness across this largely volunteer-based sector.
This opportunity was offered as a single award with a fixed amount of funding. The estimated total funding was $150,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor were set at $150,000, meaning the grant was structured as one grant in the full amount rather than a competition for multiple awards at varying sizes. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not required to contribute additional non-federal funds to receive the award.
Eligibility was narrowly defined. Rather than being open broadly to states, local governments, or a wide range of nonprofits, the eligible applicant was identified as a specialized group: the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC). In other words, this was a targeted funding opportunity intended for that specific national organization to support a communication and information-sharing function for volunteer fire and EMS stakeholders.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on May 14, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 18, 2010, and an archive date of July 18, 2010. It was listed on Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number DHS-10-USFA-102-000-01, and categorized under "Other" funding activity with the explanation that it is a U.S. Fire Administration grant program. The listing also included a general CFDA placeholder (00.000, Not Elsewhere Classified), reflecting that it did not align with a standard CFDA program code in the source entry.
For access and applicant support, the opportunity directed users to Grants.gov for additional information and provided FEMA support contact details for anyone having trouble accessing the full announcement electronically. Assistance was available through the FEMA Call Center at (866) 927-5646 and via email at AskGMD@dhs.gov.
