The ARAA is currently accepting applications for the 2026-2027 cycle of the EMS Development Grants program. These funds are provided through the Arkansas Citizens First Responder Safety Enhancement Fund and they continue to be a vital source of funding for our state’s ambulance providers.
BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR GRANT APPLICATION, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A CURRENT, SIGNED W-9 FORM FOR YOUR AGENCY TO ATTACH AND UPLOAD. YOU MAY ALSO UPLOAD ANY QUOTES, BIDS, PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS, OR OTHER SUPPORTING MATERIALS THAT YOU FEEL ARE NECESSARY.
The needs of EMS are great and unfortunately, funding under this program will in no way meet those needs entirely. We ask that you assist us in allocating these funds by applying for equipment and materials that you intend to purchase in the coming year. Should you have any questions, please contact Sara Crochet, our Association Manager, at (501) 904-1764. She will serve as your primary point of contact for this grant.
Thank you for your diligent efforts to improve EMS in Arkansas and for your ongoing support of the Arkansas Ambulance Association.
