AFG Issues its Schedule of FY2008 Applicant Workshops
The AFG program office has placed on its website (www.firegrantsupport.com) its initial schedule of approximately 300 applicant workshops for its FY2008 AFG program. Beginning in the middle of February and continuing through the middle of March 2008, these workshops will be held around the country to provide information about the submission of competitive applications under this competitive grant program. Interested representatives from fire department as well as representatives from non-affiliated EMS organizations are invited to attend the workshops. Information will be presented on program changes, program priorities, eligibility requirements, and on the application process. Also, general assistance in the writing of a competitive narrative for a department's grant application will be discussed.
