When Budget Cuts Hurt - Dig in for Alternative Funding

The Sauk City Fire Department has been working very hard to reach out to alternative sources for funding for essential equipment that assist us in providing service.  The Heritage Credit Union honored the service with a reward of $750 from a grant that provided some relief.  The department is also working with Alliant Energy on the possibility of community based grants to assist in securing additional equipment like Thermal Imaging Camera (TIC) and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resource grant funding opportunities.

We could use your help.  Some private foundations like Fireman's Fund offers grant opportunities but they would like to support the effort though agent support.  Also some companies like Garmin offer grants for equipment specific to their product.  If you find an opportunity or a funding source, please forward to me so that we can make a fair attempt to secure the grant funding opportunity.
