The California Fire Safe Council (CFSC) is extending the deadline
for the CFSC County Coordinators Grant Application by one month,
until Thursday, September 30 at 11:59 p.m.
to help accommodate counties currently struggling with the
impacts of this season’s wildfires. Even with the extension, the
CFSC is making every effort to keep the grant process on track
and provide prompt payment. The grant activity period is
anticipated to begin November 1.
The objective of the County Coordinators Grant is to educate,
encourage, and develop county-wide collaboration among various
wildfire mitigation groups operating within counties containing
State Responsibility Area (SRA) lands. Up to 24 counties will
receive a one-time, 18-month grant of approximately $175,000 to
be used to cover administrative costs relevant to county-wide
coordination efforts.
Counties must determine interest and act as the starting point to
apply for the County Coordinator Grant funding, however, counties
may choose to direct the application process and funds to a
non-profit or public agency that is best able to execute the
project. A letter of support from the county board of supervisors
will be required.
