About Us

    Municipal-Funding grew out of the request and needs of communities, who asked the owners of VFD-Funding if they could help with other public finance needs, beyond fire, EMS and 911 center financing.  Municipal Funding is part of the VFD-Funding Group, which is a division of Will Griffin Fire.

    Given that so many communities needed this service for infrastructure and other projects, we acquired the municipal-funding.com web site, so that we would be easier to find for communities and to better reflect what all we can do, in addition to funding fire department acquisitions and projects.  We asked our funding sources to expand the types of projects they would finance for us and we also expanded the number of financing sources we have.

    We have been grant writers and administrators for over 30 years and as the result of our vast experience and resources, we can help your community with your funding needs.

    Why let us arrange your funding?

    Because:

    We write grants, in addition to arranging other financing,

    We get your municipal funding approved within 24 hours,
    We help you with all of the paperwork,
    We don't charge or require any up front money or fees,
    We only charge a 1% fee for purchases made through our preferred vendors,
    We only charge a 3% fee for non-preferred vendors,
    We have the lowest fees and rates anywhere (others charge 9.5% - 12%),
    We give the best, most prompt, and professional customer service,
    We work with our preferred vendors to provide prompt and professional customer service,
    We can fund any type of acquisition or project for any municipality,
    We are totally objective, when we write the specifications for your apparatus bids,
    We get the best deal anywhere, so contact us.

    For municipal projects which are funded by tax-exempt leases and low interest loans, we will do our funding processes usually for only a 1% -3% fee and not require any up front money be paid as fees to us.  As we find financing and funding for municipal projects, we will refer our clients first to our sponsors first, because we know them and their levels of customer service.

    Our 1% fee is exclusively for our advertising sponsors and preferred municipal funding sources, because we know they have reliable equipment, great customer service, and they sponsor us with advertising; so that we can keep our rates low at 1% - 3% for tax-exempt leases and loans.  For non-sponsor and non-preferred vendors, our fees range from 3% - 5%, which are added to the total budget of the project.  This is still more economical than others who charge as much as a compounded rate of 9.75% for their fees and interest on the leases/loans.

    You can't afford to not contact us!
