  1. Why isn't my department eligible for AFGP?
    Your department/agency must be directly assigned with a fire department or be a standalone EMS agency in order to be eligible for AFGP. (Check every Friday for the latest round of AFGP grant winners, as announced by the Department of Homeland Security. See all current 2004 AFGP Grant Winners »

  2. How can I find other grant funding sources?

    3. Contact a Grant Consultant Our expert consultants, Kurt Bradley and Margaret Stark, have a broad range of experience and access to extensive specialized search engines of government grant sources as well as private and corporate foundations. You can also do your own research via grant search engines and agencies that issue grants in the CHIEF Grants Grant Resources's government section.

    These resources will also help you find grant funding sources:

    Check back at the CHIEF Grants web site often. Part of our service is to post grants as soon as they are released, to give you the optimum lead time to research, prepare and submit your application.

    We regularly update you with news and information on public, private and corporate giving, and charitable donation programs that your organization could be eligible for. Our goal is to make CHIEF Grants a "one-stop shop" where you can find all information related to grants, resources, information, conferences and other funding opportunities you will need to compete for grant dollars.
