The
County Coordinators Grant Opportunity will open on
Monday, August 2, 2021. The grant, presented in
partnership between CSAC, the California Fire Safe Council, and
the Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC), is
designed to educate, encourage, and develop county-wide
collaboration and coordination among various wildfire mitigation
groups operating within counties containing State Responsibility
Area (SRA) lands. Up to 24 counties will receive a one-time grant
of $175,000 to cover administrative costs relevant to county-wide
coordination efforts, including but not limited to the salary,
support, and administrative costs for a designated County
Coordinator.
The California Fire Safe Council will host a 2021 County
Coordinators Grant Opportunity informational webinar on
Thursday, August 5, 2021, at 10 AM. This webinar
is currently
open for registration, and will cover technical topics
related to applying for the grant and using the ZoomGrants
software, as well as questions applicants might have after
viewing the application. Applications will be available on
Monday, August 2 at 9:00 AM with a deadline of Wednesday,
September 15 at 11:59 PM.
