amount equal to not less than 10 percent
of the grant awarded.
Cost share of non-Federal cash is the
only allowable recipient contribution
for AFG–S 2 activity. On a case-by-case
basis, FEMA may allow recipients
already owning assets acquired with
non-Federal cash, to use the trade-in
allowance/credit value of those assets as
cash for the purpose of meeting the costshare obligation.
For FEMA to consider a trade-in
allowance/credit value as cash, the
allowance amount must be reasonable,
and the allowance amount must be a
separate entity clearly identified in the
acquisition documents.
In-kind cost share is not allowable for
AFG–S 2.
In cases of demonstrated economic
hardship, and at the request of the grant
recipient, the Administrator of FEMA
may waive or reduce certain recipients’
AFG–S 2 cost-share requirement or
maintenance of expenditure
requirement. FY 2020 AFG–S 2
applicants must indicate at the time of
application whether they are requesting
a waiver and whether the waiver is for
the cost-share requirement, maintenance
of effort requirement, or both. The
FEMA Administrator is required by
statute to establish guidelines for
determining what constitutes economic
hardship. FEMA has published these
guidelines at https://www.fema.gov/
media-library-data/1518026897046483d76a37022b8a581ffb7d42fa9b17e/

Before the start of the FY 2020 AFG–
S 2 application period, FEMA
conducted applicant workshops/
internet webinars to inform potential
applicants AFG–S 2. In addition, FEMA
provided applicants with information at
the AFG website: https://www.fema.gov/
welcome-assistance-firefighters-grantprogram to help them prepare quality
grant applications. The AFG Help Desk
is staffed throughout the application
period to assist applicants with the
automated application process as well
as assistance with any questions.
Applicants can reach the AFG Help
Desk through a toll-free telephone
number during normal business hours
(1–866–274–0960) or electronic mail

activity (e.g., two applications for
Operations and Safety, two for Joint/
Regional Project, etc.), either
intentionally or unintentionally, both
applications may be disqualified.
Applicants can access the grant
application electronically at https://
portal.fema.gov. The application is also
accessible from the U.S. Fire
Administration’s website http://
www.usfa.fema.gov and http://
www.grants.gov. New applicants must
register and establish a username and
password for secure access to the grant
application. Previous AFG grant
applicants must use their previously
established username and passwords.
Applicants must answer questions
about their grant request that reflect the
AFG–S 2 funding priorities described
above. In addition, each applicant must
complete a separate narrative for each
project or grant activity requested. Grant
applicants will also provide relevant
information about their organization’s
characteristics, call volume, and
existing organizational capabilities.

Application Process
Organizations may submit one
application per application period in
each of the three AFG program activities
(e.g., one application for Operations and
Safety, and/or a separate application to
be a Joint/Regional Project host). If an
organization submits more than one
application for any single AFG program

System for Award Management (SAM)
Per 2 CFR part 25, all Federal grant
applicants and recipients must register
in https://SAM.gov. SAM is the Federal
Government’s System for Awards
Management, and registration is free of
charge. Applicants must maintain
current information in SAM that is
consistent with the data provided in
their AFG–S 2 grant application and in
the Dun & Bradstreet (DUNS) database.
FEMA may not accept any application,
process any awards, and consider any
payment or amendment requests, unless
the applicant or grant recipient has
complied with the requirements to
provide a valid DUNS number and an
active SAM registration. The grant
applicant’s banking information, EIN,
organization/entity name, address, and
DUNS number must match the same
information provided in SAM. Further
guidance is provided in the FY 2020
