Grants For Residents

Simplifying the grants process for residents in the community

Fire Aside’s Grant software:

  • Identifies specific grants available to you based on your location and recent defensible space and home hardening evaluation
  • Makes it easy to apply
  • Provides timely application status tracking and confirmation of funds

"As a non-profit organization our job is to understand the needs of the community and offer resources accordingly. Software like Fire Aside not only provides a service to the county but identifies other needs [including supporting the Senior/Disabled Defensible Space Assistance Program which assists Plumas County residents who might not have the physical or financial resources to create defensible space]"
