Act Soon: COPS - Secure our Schools Grant
Our partners at the Grant Experts of New Mexico (www.grantexperts.info) have graciously offered to write one free COPS - Secure our Schools Grant for up to 2 GrantsAlert.com followers in every state. Information about this $500,000 grant is below. Only law enforcement agencies are eligible to act as the lead fiscal agent for this grant so if your school uses SRO's or regularly partners with your local law enforcement, you need to share this free opportunity with them immediately.
If you have the ability to pull these partnerships together and if you have the "nod" to proceed on this potential grant writing project with your law enforcement partner, please let the Grant Experts know as soon as possible.
Note that there is a significant match on this grant. The Grant Experts asked me to let you know that they will help you identify existing/anticipated expenses that qualify for the match - so please don't be deterred by this requirement.
Again, the Grant Experts are limiting this opportunity to only 2 free writes per state so it is important that you get in touch with them right away if you are able and ready to move forward. The best way to reach the Grant Experts is by email at: [email protected].
