IIJA community wildfire defense grants — CFDA 10.720 totals
INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND JOBS ACT COMMUNITY WILDFIRE DEFENSE GRANTS, CFDA 10.720, show $515.2M in USAspending.gov obligations. SpendingVault’s extract lists 195 awards, 129 recipients, and 46 states. The $515.2M is an assistance-award commitment total, not Treasury outlays and not a count of acres treated. The title names an IIJA grant line; the extract does not split project types.
Key figures
- CFDA 10.720 shows $515.2M in USAspending obligations, not outlays or acres treated.
- The extract lists 195 awards and 129 recipients.
- 46 states appear; the packet has no per-state dollar split.
- The title names IIJA community wildfire defense grants; the extract does not split project types.
One hundred ninety-five awards carrying $515.2M
USAspending.gov records $515.2M in obligations on assistance awards tagged 10.720. SpendingVault reprints that catalog total. The listing title names Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act community wildfire defense grants. That title is a catalog label, not a fuels-treatment map in this extract. The packet does not split the $515.2M among planning, mitigation, or other eligible costs. This guide will not invent that split.
No fiscal year is attached. If a county wildfire plan cites a different federal total, match the CFDA number before adding that plan to $515.2M. Other wildfire or forestry listings are other catalog rows. Keep 10.720’s obligation sum on its own line. One hundred ninety-five awards at this dollar scale is a mid-volume competitive file.
The packet has no median award size. Do not divide $515.2M by 195 and publish the quotient as a typical defense grant. Amount-sort on the hub is the check. Community type — city, tribe, or other — is not in the packet. Award titles on the table are the place to see what USAspending stored.
195 awards on 129 community identifiers
One hundred twenty-nine recipients hold 195 awards. That pattern is compatible with communities receiving more than one award or phase. The packet does not classify the 129. Award count is a row count; recipient count is distinct identifiers, not a count of homes in the wildland-urban interface.
A 129-name list is short enough to scan on the program hub. Repeat identifiers mean the same organization received more than one recorded award. Repeat appearance is not a finding about fire outcomes. Evacuation-route plans and fuel-break miles are not in this extract.
46 states on the wildfire-defense extract
The file counts 46 states. That is wide coverage without claiming every jurisdiction in a 50-plus extract. The packet does not name the 46 or split the $515.2M among them. Wildfire geography is uneven; this rollup still cannot rank states. Place of performance may be a county seat even when the WUI sits elsewhere.
Forty-six states is a coverage statistic, not a burn-severity map. Missing states are not listed, so their absence is not explained here. Use award-level place fields on the hub if a particular state is the question. This packet does not say which location field fed the count of 46.
Defense-grant obligations are not suppression outlays
Fire-suppression bills, FEMA public-assistance awards, and state forestry accounts are different ledgers. CFDA 10.720’s $515.2M is USAspending assistance-award obligations on this IIJA community wildfire defense listing. Mixing those sources into $515.2M would build a homemade “all wildfire” figure the packet does not support.
Outlays are payments. Obligations are commitments. Mitigation projects can draw after the obligation date. This extract does not report outlays or acres treated. Cite $515.2M as recorded commitments on 195 awards. Do not describe the sum as money already in a county fuels-crew account.
Not a combined wildfire-funding catalog
Other forestry and disaster listings can sit near 10.720 on the all-programs index because their obligation totals occupy a similar band. Similar scale is not similar purpose. Do not add this $515.2M to a neighboring CFDA. Keep IIJA community wildfire defense grants on their own catalog row.
Opening the 10.720 table
The Community Wildfire Defense Grants program page lists the 195 awards and 129 recipients behind $515.2M. Filter by location if a state is the question; the 46-state count will not name them. Agency pages are a different USAspending cut; this packet does not name the awarding agency, so the $515.2M stays on the CFDA card. Acres-treated maps remain a different file than this obligation rollup. Cite $515.2M only as the CFDA 10.720 obligation total on SpendingVault. Acres-treated maps are not this CFDA 10.720 extract. Cite $515.2M only as the obligation total on SpendingVault. The title names IIJA community wildfire defense grants; the extract does not split project types.
