Grant seekers may also wish to sign-up for funding availability alerts from the federal grants alert website.
State Grants
School districts, law enforcement agencies, and other youth-service providers should also contact their state government offices of education, criminal justice services (or attorney general), or similar agencies to identify grant programs related to school safety and security, youth violence prevention, and associated topics.
Other Funding Options
In addition to using Safe and Drug Free Schools Program or other grant funding, school districts and communities are encouraged to collaborate with their safe schools planning partners (criminal justice, community-based organizations, businesses, etc.) to provide resources for security training, security assessments, and related safe schools projects.
Feel free to contact us to discuss specific concerns related to how you can fund our programs and services. Questions regarding specific grants should be made directly to the appropriate federal, state, or local funding source.
