There are currently 770 active disaster preparedness & relief grants in Grantable's free grants database, drawn from state and foundation sources and updated daily.
Disaster preparedness and relief grants help governments, tribes, and nonprofits reduce risk before disasters strike and respond and recover after they do. FEMA administers the largest programs, including Hazard Mitigation Assistance, Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC), and the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG), most of which flow to states for local distribution. National foundations, voluntary organizations active in disaster, and community funds provide additional relief and resilience funding.

Available grants fund hazard mitigation projects (flood control, safe rooms, utility hardening, relocating critical facilities), emergency management capacity and planning, equipment and warning systems, and post-disaster recovery and rebuilding. FEMA programs such as Hazard Mitigation Assistance, Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC), and the Emergency Management Performance Grant are the major federal sources, usually administered through state emergency management agencies. Private foundations and disaster-relief nonprofits fund community recovery, supplies, and resilience work.
FEMA, within the Department of Homeland Security, is the dominant federal funder, distributing most preparedness and mitigation dollars through state, tribal, and territorial emergency management agencies. Other federal agencies fund recovery in housing, infrastructure, and agriculture. On the private side, national and community foundations, corporate philanthropy, and voluntary organizations active in disaster provide relief funding, often more quickly and flexibly than federal programs.
Most FEMA preparedness and mitigation grants are passed through to state emergency management agencies, which set their own sub-application processes and deadlines, so the practical first step is contacting your state hazard mitigation officer or emergency management office. Applications typically require a defined project scope, a benefit-cost analysis for mitigation work, and evidence of local planning such as an approved hazard mitigation plan. Nonprofits often apply as sub-recipients or in partnership with a government sponsor.
