Does NASF offer grants through the Volunteer Fire Assistance program?
Volunteer Fire Assistance (VFA) is a federal grant program that provides funds for fire equipment, training, and initial fire department organization to fire departments serving small communities under 10,000 in population. VFA grants are administered directly through State agencies -- not through NASF. To apply for a VFA grant, contact your State Forester (http://www.stateforesters.org/about_nasf).
