Emergency Medical Services Grants - Florida Department of Health Section 401. 113, Florida Statutes, gives the Florida Department of Health authority to dispense funds contained in the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Trust Fund to counties through county, matching, and rural grants. These grants are to improve and expand pre-hospital emergency medical services in the state.
Funds deposited into the EMS Trust Fund are dispensed annually as follows: County Disbursements : 45% of the monies are divided among Florida’s 67 counties according to the proportion of the combined amount deposited in the trust fund from the county. These funds may not be used to match grant funds.
Matching/Rural Grants : 40% of the monies are available to local agencies, municipalities, emergency medical services organizations, and youth athletic organizations for the purpose of conducting research, increasing existing levels of emergency medical services, evaluation, community education, injury-prevention programs, and training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and other lifesaving and first aid techniques.
Matching Grants: Ninety percent of the monies are available on a cash matching basis. Matching grants are contingent upon the recipient providing a cash sum equal to 25% of the total grant amount approved by the Department. For example, if an agency is awarded $10,000, the Department would provide $7,500 (75%) to the agency and the recipient’s required contribution would be $2,500 (25%).
Rural Grants: Ten percent of the monies are available to rural EMS agencies. These monies may also be used for improvement, expansion, or continuation of services provided. and may require up to a 10% match.
