Service Contracts
We have service contracts with the City of Mattawa, Grant County PUD, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Grant County Hospital District No. 5, Washington Migrant Council, Grant County Fire District No. 10 (Royal Slope Fire & EMS).

We have been very fortunate to have been awarded a FEMA AFG grant for training as well as a number of Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) grants for apparatus, equipment, PPE, and training fire shelters. These grants are about 9% of our revenues.
Payments in Lieu of Taxes
Federal and State agencies have Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) agreements with the District to provide services to their land within the District. PILTs vary from year to year depending on agency budgets and funding. In 2024, PILTs make up 12% of our revenue sources.
Miscellaneous
Miscellaneous revenues are from interest income, leasehold excise tax, sale of surplus apparatus and equipment, room rental fees, and first aid CPR classes. In 2024, we have two surplus apparatus for sale so this category is 7% of our revenues.
