FRETAC Mini Grants
The Foothills RETAC is committed to supporting EMS activities within the five counties of our RETAC. This includes Boulder, Clear Creek, Gilpin, Grand, and Jefferson Counties. To help accomplish this, the RETAC board has instituted a grant process for anyone involved in EMS activities within our counties. Each year, we grant out about $50,000. This is divided in half with $25,000 to our agencies/facilities through this competitive mini-grant process, and we also give out $25,000 to our counties for basic EMS needs.

County Mini Grants
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”. It is up to each set of commissioners as to how the funds are spent and who will decide where the funds go. This is also a reimbursement process now. The RETAC retains copies of all County Expenditures.
