Crowdsourced Wildfire Funding Sources for Alameda and Contra Costa County Projects

Diablo Firesafe Council is proud to share this new funding opportunities resource. We have created this tool as part of our grant deliverables for the California State Coastal Conservancy grant funding the update to the Regional Priority Plan. This resource is a consolidated list of vetted funding sources for a wide range of wildfire safety projects, like the ones submitted through our RPP process.

The Google submission form included below the spreadsheet allows stakeholders to 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. The rising tide lifts all boats.

All of the funding sources – totaling approximately 40 in our first iteration of the resource list – are regular, reliable sources of funding for wildfire safety and prevention work that have offered funding opportunities in recent years. While not all of these sources may have current funding opportunities, in all likelihood, they will announce new funding cycles in the future. DFSC recommends that your organization, agency, or grassroots group sign up for email alerts from these funders so you’ll be ready the moment a new opportunity is announced.
