This page contains a listing of AFG workshops being held across the United States.

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.
