Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA FS 2024 CWDG NEMW
The Community Wildfire Defense Grant (CWDG) for 2024 (FY25) aims to support at-risk local communities and Indian Tribes in planning and mitigating wildfire risk. Priority is given to communities identified as high or very high wildfire hazard areas, low-income communities, or those impacted by severe disasters.
The grant aligns with the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy, focusing on three key goals: - **Restoring and maintaining landscapes** to improve resilience against fire, disease, and climate change. - **Creating fire-adapted communities** that can effectively prepare for, respond to, and recover from wildfires. - **Improving wildfire response** through coordinated efforts across different jurisdictions.
Funding is available for two primary types of projects: 1. Developing or revising **Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPPs)**. 2. Implementing wildfire mitigation projects detailed in a CWPP that is less than ten years old.
The application process for Round 3 includes several scheduled webinars, open to all applicants, with one session specifically focused on Tribal applications. Webinar recordings will be made available afterward. Additional office hours will be hosted periodically throughout the application period.
More details, including webinar registration links and funding priorities, can be found in the full Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) and on the Forest Service CWDG website. Applicants can apply through the portal at **cwdg.forestrygrants.org**.Apply for USDA FS 2024 CWDG NEMW
