Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $4,000
Summary
A grant opportunity is available to support individuals, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations in enhancing wildfire preparedness within specific regions. This funding aims to assist property owners in implementing mitigation projects that reduce the risks associated with climate change-induced wildfires. Eligible projects may include fuel reduction, home hardening, chipping programs, plant replacement, and tree maintenance. The program seeks to empower residents and organizations to take proactive measures in safeguarding their properties and communities against the increasing threat of wildfires.
The grant is designed to make wildfire mitigation efforts more accessible to community members and organizations who may not have large budgets for these types of projects. Recipients can use the funds to cover project materials, installation costs, and other necessary resources that directly contribute to improving wildfire resilience. The program emphasizes practical, hands-on projects that produce visible, positive effects for both the environment and the surrounding community.
Eligible applicants include property owners within the designated regions who face disproportionate harm from climate change-fueled wildfires. Applicants do not necessarily need to own the property where the project will be implemented, but property owner permission and a long-term maintenance plan are required. Priority is given to projects that can be fully implemented within a specified timeframe.
Funding amounts vary depending on project scope, but grants generally cover a significant portion of the project cost, with applicants expected to contribute a portion of funding or in-kind resources. Applications are reviewed annually, and grants are awarded based on criteria such as project impact, feasibility, and alignment with the overall goal of improving wildfire preparedness and community resilience. The program is open to eligible applicants within the designated regions, providing an opportunity to make meaningful contributions to local wildfire resilience.
