Opportunity Summary:
The Prevention Advocacy Resources and Data Exchange (PARADE) Grant Program was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA, under the U.S. Fire Administration. Its central purpose was to provide modest financial assistance to support the PARADE network, a structured collaboration made up of state and local fire marshals. PARADE is organized on a regional basis that mirrors the ten federal regional boundaries, with the intent of strengthening day-to-day coordination and improving how fire prevention and protection information is shared across federal, state, and local levels of government.
At its core, the program was designed to encourage the exchange of practical prevention resources, protection strategies, and relevant data among officials who are responsible for reducing fire risk and improving public safety. By funding the PARADE network rather than individual, unrelated projects, the grant aimed to reinforce an ongoing information-sharing system. The idea was to help fire marshals and related prevention leaders collaborate more consistently within each of the ten regions, spread effective practices faster, and maintain channels for distributing tools, prevention messaging, and operational knowledge that can improve prevention outcomes.
The opportunity was published under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 USFA 094 000 01 and carried an estimated total funding amount of $30,000. FEMA anticipated making ten awards, aligning with the ten PARADE regions, with an award ceiling of $3,000 per award. The funding instrument was a grant, and the activity category was listed as "Other," clarified as a U.S. Fire Administration grant program. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was narrowly targeted. Rather than being broadly open to typical applicant types like municipalities or nonprofits, it was restricted to a specialized group tied to the ten PARADE regions. This reflects the program's network-support focus: it was intended to resource the established regional PARADE structure and the specific community of state and local fire marshal leadership operating within it.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on April 15, 2010. The original closing date was May 31, 2010, and it was later extended, with a current closing date of June 11, 2010. The archive date was June 30, 2010, indicating the formal end of the application window and the transition of the listing into an archived status on the grants portal.
