The Colorado State Forest Service is accepting applications for its new Wildfire Mitigation Outreach grant program.
According to the agency, local governments, Tribal agencies or programs, and nonprofit organizations may apply for a grant to support outreach among landowners in high wildfire hazard areas. Applications will be accepted through Feb. 29, and $300,000 is available for this round of grants.
Qualifying projects will have the primary goal of helping Colorado residents, especially those in high wildfire hazard areas, understand their risk of wildfire and steps they can take to reduce their risk of wildfire. All outreach messages and materials created using these grant funds must align with the guidance in the CSFS Home Ignition Zone guide.
All applicants must contribute matching funds of at least 10% of the total project cost. Applications must be submitted via email by 5 p.m. Feb. 29 to [email protected]. For more info, bit.ly/3HoMCk5.
