As we approach the end of August, time is of the essence for nonprofit organizations in Pennsylvania to secure funding for critical security enhancements. The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) has opened the FY 2024-25 solicitation for the Nonprofit Security Grant Fund Program, and eligible organizations have just two weeks left to submit their applications.
What is the Nonprofit Security Grant Fund Program?
This grant is specifically designed for nonprofit organizations that primarily serve individuals, groups, or institutions falling within a bias motivation category, as identified by the FBI's Hate Crime Statistics. The program provides financial support for security enhancements aimed at protecting the safety and security of the users of a facility located in Pennsylvania.
Why Should Your Organization Apply?
In today's environment, where the threat of hate crimes and targeted violence is unfortunately real, securing your facility is more important than ever. The grant offers a unique opportunity to obtain the necessary funds to enhance security measures, whether it’s through upgrading physical infrastructure, installing security systems, or implementing other protective measures.
But here's the catch—the application deadline is fast approaching. With the due date set for Tuesday, August 27, 2024, it's crucial that eligible nonprofits act quickly to take advantage of this funding.
