Featured Funding Opportunities and Grant Assistance:
FEMA offers three Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grant programs – the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HGMP), the Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) program and the Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) program – to help states, territories, tribal governments, local communities, private non-profits and businesses implement cost-effective, long-term mitigation measures for all natural hazards. As part of this effort, FEMA has produced this digest of HMA program operational terms and references. The HMA Program Digest is intended to be an easy-to-read, easy-to use, brief summary of the basic HMA program elements. While the HMA Program Digest is primarily intended for those unfamiliar with the HMA programs, it also may serve as a reference for employees, applicants, and other stakeholders with many years of experience with the programs. Because the digest is not exhaustive, either in topics or in detail, information should be verified with the FEMA HMA Unified Program Guidance and FEMA HMA program officials before becoming the basis for decision making.
National Endowment for the Humanities Grant Workshop:Friday, September 19, 2014, 8:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. at Siena College. Dr. Russell Wyland, Deputy Director of NEH Research Program will discuss NEH funding opportunities and offer tips for writing competitive proposals.
