Summary
There is a regional funding opportunity to support community-focused organizations providing essential services in north-central Pennsylvania. This grant is designed to strengthen the capacity of emergency response groups—those offering fire, rescue, EMS, and related services—within select local communities. The program is part of a broader commitment to fostering safer, stronger neighborhoods through strategic investment in local infrastructure and service delivery.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations that operate under a recognized charitable status, as well as local government entities.

The total amount available through this funding cycle is $250,000. There is no set minimum or maximum request amount, giving applicants the flexibility to propose projects that truly reflect their needs—whether it's purchasing equipment, enhancing training programs, or improving facilities. Funding can be used to upgrade resources, strengthen operations, or respond to emerging challenges that impact local service capabilities.
This grant opportunity is particularly focused on organizations located in specific areas of Pennsylvania, with an emphasis on serving residents in and around urban and rural communities in the north-central region. It is typically offered once per year, with an application window opening in the fall and award announcements made by the end of the calendar year.
This funding initiative offers a meaningful chance for eligible organizations to expand their impact, build resilience, and deliver critical services more effectively to the communities that rely on them. It reflects an ongoing commitment to community well-being and the belief that strong emergency services are essential to a thriving region.
