How do I get a grant?

Applicants must meet the following requirements in order to be considered for a grant:

  1. Properties must be located within the boundaries of the Moraga Orinda Fire Protection District (MOFD)

  2. There must be a minimum of five participating residential properties

  3. Grant recipients must pledge to maintain the properties five years

additional criteria that we will use to evaluate your grant request:

  1. The more, the merrier - Larger groups of participating properties will go further in reducing the wildfire danger

  2. Including a neighbor who needs help removing hazardous fuels (physical, mental or financial hardship)

  3. Having an organizational structure in place - If you are in an established homeowner’s/neighborhood association or an active Firewise community it will make the process run much smoother
