PBEM staff are on the lookout for grant opportunities that will strengthen disaster response and recovery capabilities. Grants may be offered to PBEM that encourage the participation of nonprofit/faith/business organizations. First consideration in these grant opportunities will be given to COAD RN members.

If a COAD RN member pursues a grant and the prospective grant resources can be used to enhance disaster readiness/response/recovery, PBEM encourages the member to request a letter of endorsement from PBEM to include in the grant application, if appropriate. That request should go to the PBEM Community Preparedness Manager.
PBEM can take responsibility for writing the endorsement, but it is helpful to have a draft from the grant applicant if possible. At minimum, the applicant should provide bullet points to the PBEM Community Preparedness Member to form into a letter of endorsement.
