Combination or Paid Fire Department Services
Although we initially provided our services to volunteer fire and EMS service, due to the interest, the demand and needs, we have extended our services to include combination volunteer/paid and paid fire and EMS departments. If your combination or paid fire department is in need of new apparatus, equipment, or training funding, we may be able to help you through leasing agreements, federal grants, state grants, or fund-raising campaigns. We work with you, your elected or appointed company officers, and our funding sources to come up with the best solutions available for you. Our services to combination and paid fire departments includes:
Our comprehensive approach is also unique in that we do not charge you any costs or fees up front and we work diligently to make sure we can obtain the funding, grants and donations to help you not only pay for our services, but to comply with the requirements of some grants, such as the Department of Homeland Security's Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) regulations to have the grantee contribute with non-federal matching funds of 10% for service populations less than 50,000. We do similarly when obtaining the tax-exempt lease of apparatus and equipment purchases for you. With the lease agreements, here again there are NO up front costs or fees paid by your combination or paid fire department, until after the lease is secured and in many cases our fees can be part of the lease agreement, if we already haven't financed them for you. We can also help you increase your donations by assisting you in establishing VISA/MC merchant accounts, so that you can take credit card donations and on-line donations, while the receipt for your tax-deductible donation appears on your donor's credit card statement. Many donate more when they can write a check or put it on their credit card, therefore these funds can then be used by you to upgrade your computers, e-commerce, general web presence or any other need you may have for these funds. Because we are outreaching to so many combination or paid fire departments, we may be able to help you to sell apparatus that may no longer suit your needs, but with refurbishing, if necessary, would dramatically meet the needs of smaller or more rural communities, where the apparatus would not have as much regular demand and therefore would have a longer period of active life use. So contact us at VFD-Funding today or fill out our convenient on-line feedback form, give us your wish list and tell us a little about your organization and then let's see what all we may be able to do for you and your volunteer fire department, rescue squad or EMS service. REMEMBER, there are NO up front costs or fees required. Request Bid for Apparatus and/or Funding
