- Final Rejection Notices Sent for 2007 Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program
From CHIEF Grants - February 14, 2008
The final round of "dear john" AFGP rejection letters has been released to FY2007 Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program applicants. However, departments who received rejection notices may nonetheless be in a good position for future funding, said Kurt Bradley, Senior Grants Consultant. "The rejection letter should note if the department is eligible for FY2007 supplemental funds. Departments rejected at this stage are also highly likely to win awards for FY2008," said Kurt. "Most of their work is done. Update your application with current run call volumes, budget information and statistical data, send it to us for review, and then re-submit it for the upcoming FY2008 AFG program."
