MONROE, MI (WTVB) – Michigan Gas Utilities is once again supporting first responders through its Rewarding Responders Grant.
Emergency response agencies can apply for a grant now through June 15.
MGU awards its Rewarding Responders Grants to help public safety agencies acquire lifesaving equipment or training.
Last year, these grants helped first responders purchase important safety tools such as a new fire hose, multi-gas detectors and automated external defibrillators (AEDs).
Since 2015, MGU has awarded more than $55,000 in grants to public safety agencies across southern Michigan.
Emergency response agencies are eligible to receive a grant if they operate in the MGU service area, did not receive a grant in 2021, complete an online grant application and demonstrate the equipment or training they will acquire is part of a well-planned effort to improve public safety.
Grants also can be put toward unique, safety-related projects that are one-time efforts.
A limited number of grants of up to $2,000 are available to eligible departments.
