Opportunity Summary:

The Safe Kids Worldwide Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number DHS-10-USFA-095-000-01) was a discretionary grant offered through the U.S. Fire Administration under the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA. It was designed as a single-award funding opportunity with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000, which also served as the maximum award ceiling. The grant did not require any cost sharing or matching funds, meaning the recipient was not expected to contribute additional non-federal dollars to receive the award.

The purpose of the grant was to provide financial support specifically to Safe Kids Worldwide, a specialized organization identified as the sole eligible applicant. Safe Kids Worldwide is described as a global network of grassroots groups focused on preventing accidental childhood injuries, which are a major cause of death among children ages 14 and under. Within that broader injury-prevention mission, this grant centered on reducing fire-related deaths and injuries among children, reflecting the significant risk fires and burns pose to young people. The opportunity highlights that fires and burns are the third leading cause of unintentional death for children ages 1 to 14, and it emphasizes that children under five face the greatest danger from home fires, with a death rate nearly twice the national average.

The funding was intended to strengthen prevention through preparation and education, based on the idea that many fire tragedies can be avoided through straightforward changes in behavior and improved awareness. In practical terms, the grant aimed to help Safe Kids Worldwide continue and expand public-facing education efforts targeted at parents, caregivers, and children, focusing on simple, actionable steps that reduce fire risk and improve safety outcomes. The overall objective was not only to share information, but to help shift attitudes, everyday habits, and home environments in ways that measurably lower the likelihood of fire deaths and injuries among young children.

Key administrative details include a posting and creation date of April 15, 2010, an original and final closing date of May 31, 2010, and an archive date of June 30, 2010. Additional details were available through Grants.gov, and applicants or interested parties who could not access the announcement electronically were directed to contact the FEMA Call Center at (866) 927-5646 or email ASK-GMD@dhs.gov.
