Education funding opportunities are available at both federal and state levels. Below, you'll find details on several major federal funding programs that offer annual funding and are highly sought after, providing substantial award amounts.

Annual grant opportunities

Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP)

Provides funding for nonprofit organizations at high risk of terrorist attacks. Funds support target hardening and other physical security enhancements, including security-related planning, training, and exercises. The program specifically allows for the acquisition and installation of security equipment such as cameras, access control systems, and cybersecurity enhancements on property owned or leased by the nonprofit.

School Violence Prevention Program (SVPP)

From the COPS Office (DOJ), this grant provides tens of millions in funding for eligible entities. It supports technology for expedited law enforcement notification during emergencies and other significant security improvements. Eligible uses include communication technology, emergency call boxes, intercoms, panic buttons, two-way radios, identification technology, and security cameras.

Body-Worn Camera Policy & Implementation Program (BWC PIP)

Supports law enforcement agencies looking to build, enhance or expand a body worn program. This grant is a great way for agencies to improve public safety initiatives, including improving community-police relations and accountability, deter misconduct, and capture audio-video evidence.
