Summary
Grants supporting efforts related to wildfire prevention, forest health, fire resilience, and community safety. The suite of grants is intended to help organizations and public entities carry out projects that protect forests, reduce fire risks, strengthen local economies tied to forest resources, and improve overall environmental and public safety outcomes.
One major category focuses on wildfire prevention projects, where significant funding is made available for activities like hazardous fuel reduction, wildfire prevention planning, and outreach or education designed to reduce fire risk and protect public health. These grants can support supplies, planning efforts, and education campaigns that help communities become more resilient to wildfires. Another set of funds supports forest health restoration and reforestation activities, with larger award ranges that help with landscape‑scale restoration, fuels management, and activities that contribute to long‑term environmental sustainability.
There are also business and workforce development grants designed to help strengthen industry operations and workforce skills in sectors connected to forest products and bioenergy, offering support to businesses and training efforts that grow employment opportunities related to natural resources. Urban and community forestry funding is available for projects that enhance tree care, planting, and urban green space benefits, particularly where communities may receive added emphasis for serving underserved populations. In addition, smaller‑scale funding streams such as volunteer fire capacity grants provide modest awards to support training, equipment, and safety resources for volunteer fire departments.
Eligibility for these funds generally includes nonprofit organizations, public agencies, tribal governments, landowners, and other collaborative partners capable of managing projects aligned with the goals of reducing fire risk, improving forest conditions, and increasing community resilience. Grants vary widely in size depending on the program, with some offering large project support and others providing targeted support for specific activities.
