The DHS Federal Emergency <br /> Management Agency's National Preparedness Directorate, in consultation with the U.S. Fire Administration, <br /> carry out the Federal responsibilities of administering your grant. The approved project costs total to <br /> $305,700.00. The Federal share is 80 percent or $244,560.00 of the approved amount and your share of the <br /> costs is 20 percent or $61,140.00. <br /> As part of your award package, you will find Grant Agreement Articles. Please make sure you read and <br /> understand the Articles as they outline the terms and conditions of your Grant award. Maintain a copy of these <br /> documents for your official file. You establish acceptance of the Grant and Grant Agreement Articles when <br /> you request and receive any of the Federal Grant funds awarded to you. By accepting the grant, you agree <br /> not to deviate from the approved scope of work without prior written approval from DHS. <br /> The first step in requesting your grant funds is to confirm your correct Direct Deposit Information. Please go on- <br /> line to the AFG eGrants system at www.firegrantsupport.com and if you have not done so, complete and <br /> submit your SF 1199A, Direct Deposit Sign-up Form. Please forward the original, completed SF 1199A, Direct <br /> Deposit Sign-up Form, signed by your organization and the banking institution to the address below: <br /> <br /> Department of Homeland Security <br /> FEMA, National Preparedness Directorate <br /> Grants Management Branch <br /> 500 C Street, SW, Room 334 <br /> Washington, DC 20472 <br /> Attn: Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program <br /> After your SF 1199A is reviewed and you receive an email indicating the form is approved, you will be able to <br /> request payments online. Remember, you should basically request funds when you have an immediate cash <br /> need (i.e. you have a bill in-hand that is due within 30 days). <br /> <br /> If you have any questions or concerns regarding the awards process, donations, or how to request your grant <br /> funds, please call the helpdesk at 1-866-274-0960. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> R.
