Community Wildfire Risk Reduction Grant

How it works

The Oregon State Fire Marshal describes the Community Wildfire Risk Reduction Grant as a competitive grant program for local governments, special districts, structural fire service agencies, and non-governmental organizations. The funding is aimed at reducing wildfire risk through projects, equipment, and staff that help protect people, property, and communities.

What the money covers

The page says the grant funds wildfire risk reduction projects, equipment, and staff. It also frames the work as helping communities become more fire-adapted and better prepared for wildfire impacts.

Timing and deadlines

According to the page, applications for this round closed on January 31 and awards were announced in May 2023. The page does not provide a current homeowner application window or a new deadline.

Geography

The program is described on a statewide OSFM investments page. The page does not identify a homeowner-facing service area or county-specific application process for this grant.

Important note for homeowners

The official page does not say that homeowners can apply directly. Based on the page text, this appears to be funding for organizations that carry out wildfire mitigation work in communities rather than a rebate or grant paid directly to individual households.
