GRANT FUNDING

In some cases, organizations are able to offset wildfire mitigation and resilience efforts through available grant funding at the federal, state, and regional levels.

While this is not the primary focus of our work, we can evaluate potential funding opportunities in parallel without slowing down core decision-making or execution.

This may include:

Our goal is simple: help you move forward with the right strategy and solutions while identifying opportunities to reduce cost where possible.
  • Electric utilities and co-ops
  • Independent power producers and infrastructure operators
  • Wildfire technology companies
  • Public and private sector organizations facing wildfire risk
