Grant Description

The wildland-urban interface community assistance program provides funding to state and local governments, non-profit organizations, institutions of higher education, and Tribes to reduce risk of fire in the wildland-urban interface in the vicinity of lands managed by the DOI. This program seeks to decrease wildland fire-related losses to rural economies through enhanced local mitigation; and to help reduce Federal, state, tribal and local expenditures on wildland fire suppression, particularly in the wildland-urban interface. All applications and pre-application material received by DOI bureaus within each state are reviewed and prioritized collaboratively. Priority for, and amount of funding awarded per grantee is based on relative need, proximity to, and partnership with DOI lands and bureaus, and other factors.
