Grant types

• The Targeted Community Investment Grant (TCIG) program funds community-based violence prevention programs and activities. TCIG grantees work to improve public safety, increase opportunities for self-development and care, and build a stronger sense of community in neighborhoods most impacted by gun violence. Award amounts range from $1,500 to $50,000.
• The Community Expansion Grant (CEG) program funds and supports organizations that reduce violence through trauma-informed healing, restorative practices, safe havens, and mentorship. Award amounts range from $100,000 to $1 million.
  • For both grant types, special consideration is given for:
    • Projects that operate in the Philadelphia neighborhoods that are most prone to gun violence. (The application will list ZIP codes for these focus areas.)
