Funding for School and Campus Safety 2023: Aired April 19, 2023

Improving security at schools and on school grounds through the use of evidence-based technology is a primary mission in our society. There are funding streams available in the federal government which can be used for school and campus safety, but understanding the process of how to apply for grants and determining how to best leverage these funds may seem daunting. Public Sector Grants (PSG) is here to help demystify the process and provide invaluable assistance. Join us as we delve into FY 2023 COPS – School Violence Prevention Program (SVPP) and FY 2023 BJA’s STOP School Violence Program. Kamala Kuhn, Director of Grants Assistance at PSG, will provide insight into key requirements of these grants, how they can be applied, vital deadlines, and much more!

We welcome members of governments at the local, state, & federal levels, and federally recognized tribal nations; public, private, independent, and tribal school districts; members of public safety; and those serving in fields related to improving efforts to reduce violent crimes in and around schools.

Don’t miss this exclusive content and the opportunity to learn with a federal grants expert!
