Volunteer Fire Assistance Grant Program

How it works

The Virginia Department of Forestry provides assistance through the Volunteer Fire Assistance (VFA) Grant program. The page says the program provides a 50% cost reimbursement for eligible purchases.

What the money covers

Eligible items listed on the page include personal protective equipment (PPE), tools, and equipment for rural volunteer fire departments.

Amounts and matching

The page states a 50% cost reimbursement. That means the grant covers half of the cost of approved purchases, but the page does not state a maximum dollar cap.

Who it is for

The program is for rural volunteer fire departments, not individual homeowners.

Timing and deadlines

The page excerpt does not state a current application period or deadline.
