Brigades are encouraged to apply for funding under the 2021-22 Volunteer Emergency Services Equipment Program (VESEP).
Applications are now open for the next round of funding with grants of up to $150,000 available.

There are five categories under which funding is available:
- Volunteer amenities costing less than $5000
- Minor works costing less than $100000
