Maybe it’s DHS funding coming through. Maybe it’s spring. Whatever it is, what can we say: It’s training time!
More grants are coming online at the state and federal levels. We’re hearing from more agencies and public safety personnel who are feeling a fire to up their grant game, like this past student:
“I attended your grant writing course in Denver, Colorado. I just got notified that we were awarded $20,000 towards the purchase of 4 complete sets of new bunker gear, which will go to 4 new recruits we have in training now.
“The things I learned in your course have been invaluable to us. In the past year I’ve been able to get our department over $350,000 in grants, ranging from $500 to $125,000 for slide-in firefighting units, to a new-to-us Type 4 wildland brush truck estimated to be worth $150,000.
“Not bad for a department that has a $250,000 annual operating budget.”
If you’ve been wondering if you could write grants, it’s pretty simple, too.
If you’ve never written a grant before and are completely new to public safety grants, we’ve got you.
If you’ve written grants to mixed success or no success, we’ve got you.
And to help you train up to be the grant writer you could be, we’ve just added 5 new training opportunities. Seats are open now!

Grants are not some convoluted thing that requires an advanced degree or magical powers. They’re a skill. Just like incidents, grants are something you train for. And when you train up, you level up.
Those listings above are just the newest we’re offering, by the way. Other online and in-person trainings are open too, so you can pick the one that works best for you:

“In 2025, I attended First Responder Grant Writing for First Responders taught by Greg Bavis.
“It was a two-day, 16-hour class. The information taught in the class was very informative. I credit it to my success obtaining a successful grant in only my second attempt.
“I would highly recommend this class.”
