The tenth cycle of the Alabama 9-1-1 Board Grant Program is now open and accepting applications.
The overall goal of the Grant Program is to provide financial assistance to validly formed Emergency Communication Districts (ECDs) based on demonstrated need(s) in compliance with §11-98 et seq. of the Code of Alabama 1975, as amended. The purpose is to partially fund the non-recurring costs of projects necessary to achieve or maintain continuity and enhancement of 911 assuring that every location in Alabama has equitable access to 911 service.
Grant Cycle 10 will be entirely focused on NG911 call handling equipment solution (CHE) and NG911 recorder projects. All other project categories will not be considered and will be excluded from the evaluation.
One notable and very important change in grant process is that we will only require an electronic version of the application to either be emailed to adam@al911board.com or placed on a digital storage media device and mailed or hand delivered to the Alabama 9-1-1 Board office. There is no need to send a printed version of the grant application for Grant Cycle 10.
The grant cycle calendar is as follows: The application period for Grant Cycle 10 opens today, June 18, 2024; applications are due on or before August 9, 2024. Review of applications will take place during the month of August and September 2024 and grants will be recommended for award at the Alabama 9-1-1 Board meeting on September 18, 2024.
