There is a "Signature Section" for this Agreement Form which serves two purposes.
As with previous programs, this form is the document which must be signed and returned to the Office of the State Fire Commissioner (OSFC) certifying that your organization is aware of, and agrees to the terms of your 2011-12 VFCVASGP grant. It must be signed by an authorized officer of your organization. Your grant cannot be processed without returning this signed form.
In addition, this form also serves as your organization’s authorization for the OSFC to deposit your grant funds to your account using “Electronic Funds Transfer” (EFT). You will have to take the form to your financial institution (bank, credit union, etc.) and have them complete and sign the “Financial Institution” section. Grant funds will only be disbursed using this direct deposit method.
Instructions for completing and submitting the Signature Section of the Grant Agreement Form are available at Signature Section Instructions. We suggest you print a copy of these instructions to use as you complete your agreement form.
After you have read the instructions, please log on to the ONLINE GRANT APPLICATION. To access your agreement forms Click on the "Click here to access the Online Grant Application" bar.
