Program details

How it works

The Kentucky Firewise USA Community grant program provides funding to assist communities in wildland-urban interface areas to reduce wildfire risk. It is part of Kentucky’s broader Firewise USA program.

What the money covers

The official page does not list a detailed eligible-expense menu on the page itself. It says the program is for wildfire-risk reduction in communities in the wildland-urban interface.

Amounts and matching

The page does not state a grant maximum, match requirement, or per-community cap.

How reimbursement works

The grant cycle runs from October 1 through June 30. Grantees must complete project activities and submit receipts and documentation in order to receive reimbursement.

The same Kentucky Firewise page points homeowners to a Kentucky Division of Forestry Woodland Home Wildfire Hazard Assessment and to archived fact sheets, tips, and checklists for reducing wildfire risk.

Timing and deadlines

The page gives the annual grant cycle window but does not specify an application deadline or award date on the page itself.
