Introduction

Thank you for your interest in applying to the Community Brigades Support Initiative (CBSI).

Before you begin your application, please read the guidelines, which can be found on this webpage

This program has been designed by Western Renewables Link (WRL) to support initiatives that enhance operational readiness and improve capacity for CFA brigades and volunteers who operate within communities along the proposed WRL project route.

Applying for or receiving a grant from this program does not indicate support or endorsement of the Western Renewables Link project by CFA or individual brigades.

The CFA has reviewed all documentation to ensure it aligns with existing grants programs available to brigades. Brigades wishing to apply for a grant must first follow CFA's existing grants process. These processes are outlined on Members Online, or you can contact your District Office for further advice.

The following information provides an overview of the CBSI, with the full program guidelines available here. 

Should you need any assistance with your application, contact us on
