Campus safety is a top priority for higher education institutions across the country, and many states are stepping up with dedicated funding to help colleges and universities strengthen their security infrastructure. This session provides a practical overview of a sample of state-level campus safety grant programs in various states where we explore what each program funds, who is eligible, and how institutions can successfully compete for or access these dollars. Whether you're a campus safety officer, administrator, or grant writer in these states or not, this session will equip you with the knowledge to identify and pursue funding opportunities offered in your state.
Join Grants Office, along with Genetec, for a comprehensive Grantscast covering the grants landscape for higher education. We'll cut through the complexity and map out where funding exists, what it supports, and how institutions can position themselves to secure it.
In this session, we'll cover how to:
- Identify key state-level campus safety grant programs available in five states, including program purpose, allowable uses of funding, and eligibility considerations.
- Develop common proposal elements such as vulnerability assessments, project narratives, budget justifications, and letters of support to build a competitive and complete grant application.
- Build a strategy for aligning proposals with funder priorities across programs while considering application timelines, required documentation, and how to align institutional needs with grant priorities.
- Locate state-funded campus safety opportunities by utilizing state agency websites, grant portals, legislative budget announcements, and other resources to proactively monitor and identify new funding cycles.
This session is ideal for higher education administrators, campus grant professionals, and technology partners supporting institutions in pursuing infrastructure, research, and innovation funding.
