Narrative
Please structure your proposal to provide the following information in the order indicated. Provide the narrative
in paragraph form in the text field provided. Please be thorough but strive for brevity.
1. Briefly describe the organization’s history, mission and goals.
The Goldfield Ranch Volunteer Fire Department (GRVFD) is an Initial Attack Wildland Fire Unit.
We are made up of Goldfield Ranch residents - volunteers who are professionally trained,
equipped, insured and certified by the State of Arizona to fight wildland fire. We were
established in 2010 to provide first response for wildland fire threats to the Goldfield Ranch
neighborhood – putting the little fires out before they become big.
2. If the applying organization is non-municipal or a non-profit 501c, please describe your relationship with
Arizona municipalities including past and present support, whether it be through partnerships,
collaborations, in-kind contributions, grants, tax-based funding or other. Describe the supporting
municipality’s role in this project. If the applying organization is a municipality governmental sub-
division please enter the text “Not applicable.”
We maintain an Inter- Governmental Agreement with the Arizona State Forestry Division. This
agreement allows our cooperators to help us with incidents on Goldfield Ranch, and allow us to
help them as well off Goldfield Ranch. To this end we share some equipment and have
received some grant opportunities from other cooperators. We are also a contributing member
of the Central Arizona Wildland Response Team (CAWRT), and are dispatched to incidents
outside Goldfield Ranch by the Arizona Inter-Agency Dispatch Center.
3. Describe the proposed project and planned goals and activities.
Construct a pre-fab metal building to house our firefighting equipment and operations.
4. Describe how the proposed project satisfies one or more of the priority funding areas identified by the
Gila River Indian Community.
As an initial attack wildland fire department, we protect the public safety of the residents of
Goldfield Ranch and surrounding communities.
5. Identify the needs/problems to be addressed, target population and number of people to be served by
the project.

Because of our relatively small size (5500 acres, 350+ homes, 500+ residents) our fire district
does not have the tax base necessary for a full-time fire department. Due to the remote
location of Goldfield Ranch, we are too far away to be absorbed into a lager fire district. It is up
to us to work with the federal, state and other municipalities to piece together the capabilities
necessary to defend our homes.
6. Define the project as a new or continuing program.
The Goldfield Ranch VFD Fire Station is a new project.
7. Provide a brief timeline including start and finish dates. Indicate if the timeline is flexible.
Construction would commence as soon as funding becomes available, and would likely be
complete by the end of 2017.
8. Identify other organizations, partners or funders participating in the project and their roles.
A Goldfield property owner is willing to provide property for us to build the station on.
9. Would you be able to implement the proposed plan if your organization received partial funding for this
project?
No – no other funding sources for this project are available.
10. Describe your plan for project sustainability beyond the grant period. If this is a program/project
previously funded by the Gila River Indian Community describe efforts made towards the previously
described sustainability plan.
On-going operating budget to run the facility is generated through charitable support from the
Goldfield Ranch community and other benefactors.
11. Describe your plan to document progress and results.
When approved, we will establish major milestones and report on them at least monthly until the
project is complete.
12. Indicate any application to and/or awards made by a tribe other than the Gila River Indian Community
for state shared revenues for this and any other project for the past five (5) years. If this information is
included in a separate attachment, please indicate that here.
