$2.5 +$1.1 million in Firefighter grants awarded in MI. The grants are always appreciated by these departments that must fund operations and equipment. We need some more for the UP because of our rural location we don't have a strong tax base. There is some need for $15-20K in air bottles for one department and some training monies to help with multiple departments. Equipment gets old and so it needs to be replaced and that of course costs $$$. One issue is the complexity of applying for Federal grants for smaller departments. Making that easier for non professional grant writers would be helpful.
Companies and community grants are easier I think but its smaller pools of resources. 🤔
This is what I found searching around....
