| Other Grants |
Colorado Rural Health Grant Program:
The Colorado Rural Health Program has very specific grants available for RURAL EMS
agencies. Their website can be found at: http://www.coruralhealth.org/crhc/index.html
HRSA/ASPER Program:
The FRETAC was very pleased to receive grant funding from the PH HRSA program this year.
Each of our prehospital agencies received triage tags, and each county received Triage Training
Modules. In addition to these MCI supples, we received PPE bags from MMRS funding that
were distributed this year.
| Stay Tuned........ Stay tuned to this web page as we proceed. We'll post new opportunities for funding as it becomes available. We have a lot of interesting possibilities right now, and are working with other partners such as the HRSA grant(CDC) and Homeland Security people to develop and coordinate our funding efforts. |
FRETAC Mini Grants
Description and Purpose:
Four years ago, the FRETAC Council started putting money "away" to start a grant
process within our five county region. The FRETAC grant process is divided into two
divisions. These are the "County Subsidy Grants" and the "EMS Agency Grants."
FRETAC County Subsidy Grant:
Each year a letter is sent to each set of our county commissioners. The letter states
that $5,000 is available to them for "Basic EMS Needs". After they send back the
attestation form included in the letter, a check is sent to the county. It is up to each
set of commissioners as to how the funds are spent and who will decide where the
funds go.
FRETAC Competitive Mini-Grants:
After sending out checks to each county, we then start the second part of the
process. Grant applications are sent to all our EMS agencies and our listserve. The grants are
patterned after the CDPHE grant process, but widdled down considerably. The
FRETAC board takes more stock of the narrative portion of the grant than any other
portion. Priorities for the FRETAC Grant include BASIC NEEDS (training,
equipment, education, and transportation), REGIONAL PROJECTS, and
INTERAGENCY/COUNTY COOPERATION.
The Grant cycle begins November of each year.
These funds are awarded in December of each year.
| The Foothills RETAC Council members are very committed to not only organizing, facilitating, and acting as a resource to our EMS members, but to also provide cold hard cash to those EMS providers in need. Our group is always on the lookout for financing opportunities for our members. We hope you'll use the information provided as a resource for the funding challenges that EMS is now facing. |
