2012 Community Assistance Grants Process Overview For Oregon and Washington

December 21, 2011 Update

The 2012 National Fire Plan grant process has been scaled down to accommodate a limited source of funding that is directly tied to state planning efforts. At a minimum, project proposals must reside within high priority areas identified in the statewide assessments and resource strategies (refer to links below) to be considered.

In order to focus limited resources and funding (potentially $500,000 within each state), the interagency Pacific Northwest Wildfire Coordinating Group, FMWT Fuels Management Working Team (PNWCG-FMWT) has asked the Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) to collaborate with communities that are within high priority areas. Project proposals will be submitted to the PNWCG-FMWT for funding consideration by April 5th, 2012.
