This grant, offered by the Department of the Interior (DOI), is for the purpose of assisting state and local governments, non-profit organizations, institutions of higher education, and Tribes. It aims to significantly reduce wildland fire risk within the wildland-urban interface (WUI), especially in areas adjacent to DOI-managed lands in Oregon and Washington. By empowering local communities through enhanced mitigation strategies, this program seeks to minimize wildland fire-related economic losses in rural economies. Ultimately, it also strives to reduce considerable federal, state, tribal, and local expenditures on fire suppression. Applications are collaboratively reviewed and prioritized by DOI bureaus based on relative need, proximity, and partnership with DOI lands, ensuring targeted impact.
