Who may apply for a regional grant?
Eligible State and local volunteer firefighter interest groups and individual fire departments may apply for grants in the recruitment and retention activity that will have a region-wide impact. One eligible organization must serve as the "host applicant" and apply on behalf of the other eligible organizations and fire departments that will benefit from the grant.

I'm planning to submit an application as a host for a regional project. When I answer the questions in the Applicant Characteristics section of the online application, do I use the statistics for the entire region that will be affected by the project, or do I use my department's local statistics?
When applying as a host for a regional project, you should provide regional statistics when responding to the Applicant Characteristics questions. Be sure to elaborate on the wider benefits in the Narrative Statement of your application.

I'm applying as the host for a regional project, but I also have needs in my own department. Can I submit a second application for my own department?
No, we only allow one application per eligible applicant, and the application for the regional project counts as the one application. The host applicant is NOT eligible for funding beyond the regional project.
