- Please keep in mind that our RETAC grants are considered very small versus the state grants. We only have a total of $25,000 to grant out.
- All EMTS agencies/Providers in our region are eligible to apply.
- Please remember that this is a reimbursement grant only. All funds will be disbursed ONLY after you have spent the money awarded and provide the RETAC with invoices/receipts
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.
