Wiregrass RC&D General Grant Application

How it works

Wiregrass RC&D says its grant application system is used for the general grant cycle. Applicants must create a new account in Foundant, even if they applied before, and then complete the online form for the current grant cycle. The page says the form cannot be saved and returned to later, so applicants should prepare their budget and answers separately before starting.

What the money covers

The application asks applicants to describe the project and objective, then explain how requested funds will be used across listed categories. The form includes categories for personnel, facilities (rental), services, postage, materials/supplies, sub-contracts, travel, equipment, and other expenses. The page does not specify wildfire-hardening or home-hardening measures; it is a general grant program.

Amounts and matching

The page asks for a "Grant Amount Requested," but it does not state a minimum, maximum, matching requirement, reimbursement structure, or award formula. The official text also does not say whether awards are fixed or competitive.

How to apply

Applicants fill out the online General Fund Grant Application and provide project, sponsor, contact, county location, project address, description, objective, requested amount, and expense breakdown. The page says to be as specific as possible when entering the project address. If help is needed, the office phone number listed is 334-774-2334.

Timing and deadlines

The page states that grant applications for the 2023 grant cycle were available from April 1 through June 30, 2022. It also notes the application system was new for 2024. No current open/close dates beyond that statement are provided on the page.
