GUIDELINES FOR USE OF FUNDS

1)  Funds can be used to purchase equipment and non-
consumable items that have an expected life of more than five (5) years.  Examples of these items may include but are not limited to:  robots for safety education, stationary or mobile fire safety houses, table top hazard houses, audio-visual equipment, puppet programs, smoke detector programs, and manualized educational programs such as Risk Watch and Learn Not To Burn.

2) Funds may not be used for personnel expense, operating expense, or miscellaneous expense (all expenditures must be itemized). Lap-top computers will not be funded due to their ability to be used for departmental and personal purposes outside of the scope of fire safety education and prevention. Additionally, funds may not be used to purchase consumable items including, but not limited to: brochures, pamphlets, coloring books, crayons, pencils, stickers, plastic, helmets, magnets, and balloons.

3)  Grant funds must be used for the original purpose/project stated in the application. If funding is applied to any other project other than that stated in the application, upon review by the GFBF, the grantee must reimburse the GFBF.
