The National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) in collaboration with MSA Safety, is offering a unique opportunity for fire and EMS departments to enhance their grant writing skills through a free online course.
This initiative is designed to empower volunteer and combination fire and EMS departments with the knowledge and skills necessary to secure critical funding.
NVFC’s online course, “Grant Writing for the Fire and Emergency Services,” is now accessible on-demand.
This course, supported by MSA Safety, aims to provide comprehensive training in grant writing.
Available for free until December 7, it is an invaluable resource for departments looking to enhance their grant-writing capabilities.

The session is pivotal for departments aiming to apply for grants in 2024, including opportunities like the MSA and DuPont’s Globe Gear Giveaway.
