MFA Incorporated has a long history of fulfilling donation requests made by fire departments across Missouri. They have generously provided many fire departments with equipment and funding in the past. MU FRTI is happy to help MFA Incorporated by providing administrative oversight of this grant program.
The MFA Volunteer Fire Grant focuses on addressing the needs of the fire service who will benefit the most. While no fire department has all the funding necessary, rural fire departments often struggle the most. Depending on the availability of funds, the goal is to award grants to at least one recipient in each of the nine Fire Mutual Aid Regions in Missouri. It is a requirement of the grant for your agency to be registered with the Missouri Division of Fire Safety, Office of the State Fire Marshal. The MFA Volunteer Fire Grant is dedicated to providing funds that will benefit the fire service in Missouri.
Application period: Oct. 1–Nov. 30, 2023
Award notifications: After Feb. 1, 2024
The MFA Volunteer Fire Grant review process consists of two parts. First, district directors from the Firefighters Association of Missouri (FFAM) and MU FRTI regional coordinators will review applications from their jurisdictions and score them accordingly. It is the intention that these individuals have a direct understanding of the needs of the department and will provide additional insight. The final review will be conducted by a committee comprised of the MU Fire and Rescue Training Institute, the Firefighters Association of Missouri, the Missouri Division of Fire Safety and MFA Incorporated to determine final awardees.
An award letter will be sent to successful applicants and require that they confirm receipt and agree to meet all requirements of the award. This will be confirmed with an authorized signature from the agency receiving the award. Award payments will be presented in person by the award committee.
