Eligible Activities for the SAFER Grant

Can the SAFER grant be used to fund activities for retention such as picnics, new tv for movie nights, or board games and pool table for game nights?

Hello,
The items you mention are not specifically mentioned under the SAFER R&R section.

Here are some specifics:

Insurances items (AD&D, health, dental, life, etc.), reimbursement for expenses for members attending training, tuition assistance for higher education, responder physicals, recruitment marketing costs, explorer or cadet programs, staffing needs assessments, or the salary and benefits for a recruitment and retention coordinator.

I think you could probably cover the costs of the items that you are talking about through some local or regional grant programs. Additionally, you may try the corporate donation route. The FireGrantsHelp team can assist with all of these, Sarah Wilson, the grants manager, can provide a breakdown of our assistance.

Good Luck!
