Wiregrass RC&D General Grants

How it works

Wiregrass RC&D says it serves Russell County and awards grants each year through its grant program. Its general-grant process is open annually from April through June, and the council selects projects from eligible applications.

What the money covers

The official guidelines say general grants can support community projects such as erosion remediation, first responder gear, and community center improvements. The program description does not list wildfire-hardening items specifically, but it is a local grant source that may fund resilience-related work when it fits the grant rules.

Amounts and matching

The official pages reviewed do not state a standard grant amount, match requirement, or reimbursement structure.

How to apply

Applicants use Wiregrass RC&D’s grant application process. The guidelines say eligible applicants must be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit or a unit/sub-unit of government, such as a city, county government, or school system.

Timing and deadlines

Wiregrass RC&D states that general grant applications are open each year from April through June. Funds are subject to availability and may be prorated if ordered by the State Finance Director.
