Explore the New Grants Finder Tool on Schoolsafety.gov

The Grants Finder Tool was recently launched on SchoolSafety.gov. The new tool features Federally available school safety-related grant programs in one centralized location and is designed as a decision-making support tool to help schools and districts determine the eligibility and applicability of funding opportunities for their specific needs, challenges, and characteristics.

The Grants Finder Tool was developed to help the kindergarten through grade 12 (K-12) community more easily find, apply for, and ultimately receive school safety-related funding. Its features can help schools and districts find funding opportunities to support school safety efforts and keep students, staff, and school communities safe and secure.
