Medical University of South Carolina & South Carolina Firefighters’ Burned Children’s Fund Burn Awareness/Fire Prevention Education Grants

The Burned Children’s Fund welcomes grant applications from members of fire service, injury prevention, and health care organizations. Any agency/organization is eligible to apply for these grants, with priority consideration given to those agencies/organizations who are active sponsors of the Burned Children’s Fund and/or Camp ‘Can’ Do. The purpose of this grant program is to provide assistance to agencies/organizations who participate in burn awareness and fire prevention related educational activities. Programs of interest include (but are not limited to):

Development of pre-school and school-age child education programs
Development of outreach education activities designed to reach at-risk populations (i.e., children, elderly)
Assistance with the purchase of supplies which augment existing programs for community education
Support or expansion of existing burn awareness and fire prevention programs

The application requires a detailed explanation of the plan for grant fund use, including a summary of the steps taken to implement the new program. In addition, detailed contact information for the responsible applicant from each organization will be on file with the Burned Children’s Fund Board of Directors. All applications will be reviewed by the Board of Directors of the Burned Children’s Fund semi-annually in April and October of each year. Maximum amount of an individual grant is $500.00 to each participating department or organization. A larger or smaller monetary grant may be designated by the Board of Directors at their sole discretion. By accepting an award, grant applicants understand and agree to undertake a requirement for a grant update report to the Burned Children’s Fund Board of Directors within six months of receiving the grant, including any proposed publications and or presentations based on the use of grant funds. For second or subsequent term continuation grants, the above is required in writing along with a completed renewal application form. Grant Application
