The Colorado Springs Wildfire Mitigation Section would like to inform you that grant funding for stipends is available. The Stipend Program provides grants to homeowners who hire licensed contractors that are approved to work with the Wildfire Mitigation Section to complete wildfire mitigation work on their property. Through this program a dollar-for-dollar match up to $500 is offered for wildfire risk reduction activities such as hazardous tree and brush removal, and removal of dead and dying limbs on trees within the first thirty feet (30’) of the home.
Participants must contact the Wildfire Mitigation office prior to initiating any physical work. The Wildfire Mitigation Section cannot reimburse residents for previous work completed or reimburse residents for doing work themselves on their own property. If interested, please contact Bailey Horton at 719-385-7348 or Bailey.Horton@coloradosprings.gov. Please know that the grant funding is first come-first serve, and locations of funds may be subject to change as additional grant funding is received throughout the year. Additionally, attached is a copy of the licensed contractors approved to work with the Wildfire Mitigation Section.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
Thank you,
