This week at the Wildland-Urban Interface Conference in Reno, NV, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and State Farm announced that 10 organizations will each receive $10,000 in grant funding in support of Wildfire Community Preparedness Day on Saturday, May 4, 2024. The selected organizations received the funding to help support and enhance their planned projects and community outreach for this year’s Preparedness Day campaign. “It was an honor to award and recognize these organizations on behalf of NFPA and State Farm,” said Michele Steinberg, NFPA wildfire division director. “Each has demonstrated an ongoing dedication to wildfire mitigation, and I’m genuinely excited to watch their project plans come together in the weeks ahead. I’m confident that their efforts will make measurable differences in the communities they serve.”
