Any information on fundraising and grants is good information. Where I am from in South West Arkansas, info is hard to come by. I really am looking forward to learning alot on FFN.

hello my name is tony cope I'm from a all vol. dept. in n.e. ohio .Our dept. has recently started a grant committee with members tasked to find grants in different categories(fed. ,state , corp. , ect.) We hired a grant writer for our AFG application and will hopefully use him for all the major grant applications. We have taken it upon ourselves to fill out for the smaller grants and so far have had good success . I am currently looking for any classes in grant writing in the n.e. ohio w. pa areas so if anyone hears anything let me know .

I realize that most of the grant info here is probably geared towards USA departments, but does anyone have any leads on grants in Canada?

This is one that I have found, but it just closed for this year. Hopefully it will be happening again next year. There seems to be quite a few awarded to Fire Departments.
