grant award at the Enter the location of the award presentation located on Enter the street address of

prevent those organizations working to prevent fire from being as proactive as they would like to be.
With additional financial support,grant recipients are actively helping to improve property risk in the
communities they serve."
Through its Fire Prevention Grant Program, FM Global awards grants quarterly to fire departments—as
well as national, state, regional, local and community organizations worldwide—that best demonstrate
a need for funding,where dollars can have the most demonstrable impact on preventing fire,or
mitigating the damage it can quickly cause.
