Our Mission
Diablo Firesafe Council’s role in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties is to serve as a catalyst for bringing together people, agencies, and the means to substantially reduce the impact of wildland fire on our communities.
While we can’t stop another devastating wildfire from occurring in our communities, we can help our communities prepare for a wildfire event. Our goal is to reduce potential damage and speed recovery.
Diablo Firesafe Council is proud to share this consolidated list of vetted funding sources for a wide range of wildfire safety projects, like the ones submitted through our RPP process.
Submit additional ideas for funders and funding opportunities. By creating a crowdsourced list of funding opportunities, we hope that all stakeholders in Alameda County and Contra Costa County can assist each other.
Our Programs
Funding and assistance are available from Diablo Firesafe Council and our partners
Defensible Space Cost-Share Funding
Up to $3,500 in cost-sharing assistance for efforts to prepare for wildfires from thinning dead trees to clearing roadways, getting fire safe often requires hiring professional services.
Home Hardening Education Program
DFSC offers a free program called Five Easy Actions, an informative, 90-minute hands-on talk to discuss home hardening for your FIREWISE group.
