The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) is seeking applications for its Non-Profit Security Grant Program to support nonprofit organizations who principally serve individuals, groups or institutions that are included within a bias motivation category for single bias hate crime incidents.
Donor Name: Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency
State: Pennsylvania
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 10/31/2022
Size of the Grant: $5,000-$150,000

Details:
Applicants are eligible for security enhancements designed to protect the safety and security of the users of a facility located in the Commonwealth that is owned or operated by the nonprofit organization.
Funding Information
- Eligible applicants may request a minimum of $5,000 up to a maximum of $150,000 in state funding.
- Applicants requesting $25,001 to $150,000 will be required to provide non-state financial participation based on the size of the grant request.
- “Non-state financial participation” is the applicant’s share of the total cost of the project. Funding for the non-state financial participation can come from any source (e.g., fundraising dollars, federal or local government funds, etc.) except state funding. The applicant must provide a match for the requested grant amount at the required percentage with non-state financial support. In-kind matches (i.e., donations of goods, services or time instead of cash) do not satisfy the non-state financial participation requirement. Previous expenditures for security enhancements are not eligible to satisfy the non-state financial participation requirement.
- Grants awarded under PCCD’s Nonprofit Security Grant Program will be one-year projects. However, awarded grantees will have the option of submitting a project modification request to extend their grant.
