Apply for a 2012 Georgia-Pacific Bucket Brigade™ Grant to Fund Department Necessities Applications due to local GP facility by July 2 Applications are now being accepted for the 2012 Georgia-Pacific Bucket Brigade™ Grant program. The program provides grants to fire departments that serve communities that have a Georgia-Pacific facility or where its employees reside. It is the company's way of recognizing and supporting firefighters for their contributions in making our families, homes, and workplaces safer. There are over one million firefighters in the United States, and about 70 percent of these are volunteers. These dedicated individuals selflessly give of themselves to keep the people and property that make up their communities safe. Yet many departments are struggling to provide the necessary resources for these responders to perform their duties. The Georgia-Pacific Bucket Brigade program aims to assist by helping provide the necessities local fire departments need to protect and educate their communities. The program supports firefighters through monetary grants for equipment, resources, and programming, as well as safety education materials for use in local schools. Since 2006, Georgia-Pacific has awarded nearly $800,000 to rural and small-town fire departments. In addition, Georgia-Pacific provides all applicants with a complimentary year-long department membership in the National Volunteer Fire Council. Eligibility
