The Assistance to Firefighters (AFG) grant application period is expected to open the second week of November. AFG grants have helped IAFF members and other first responders get critically needed equipment, protective gear, emergency vehicles, training and other resources.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency, which administers AFG grants, is providing regional AFG workshops. The IAFF encourages affiliates to attend and meet with program officials. Additionally, the IAFF has developed guidance documents for IAFF training programs eligible for grant funding
FEMA is also hosting a series of live Adobe Connect Webinars to help applicants through the entire application process. These webinars are an opportunity to review the FY 2015 application before the application period begins.
