Secure Grant Funding for Safer Schools
By Amy Jerden
As we approach the end of the year, school administrators face the critical challenge of ensuring safe, secure environments for students, faculty, and visitors alike. With concerns around campus security on the rise, many districts are looking to enhance their physical security infrastructure. However, with ESSER and ARP funds often already allocated, finding the necessary resources can be challenging.
Fortunately, there is support available. Through a collaboration with the Grants Office LLC, i-PRO offers a dedicated grant support program to assist K-12 institutions in identifying and applying for security funding. This no-cost service has already helped i-PRO customers secure $47 million in grant funding for safety improvements.
How the i-PRO Grant Support Program Works
- Simple Engagement: Start by submitting a quick form outlining your school’s security needs and project timeline.
- Customized Funding Search: The i-PRO Grants team evaluates your project to determine eligibility and provides a tailored list of funding options.
- Consultative Review: After receiving the report, the team collaborates with school stakeholders to review funding opportunities and develop a strategic approach.
- Grant Writing Assistance: For schools that need additional support, i-PRO’s team can offer grant-writing services and sample narratives to strengthen applications.
- Ongoing Support: Once submitted, the i-PRO team tracks the status of applications and updates you on funding awards.
Applying for grant funding can seem overwhelming, especially when balancing the day-to-day responsibilities of school administration. If you’re seeking to enhance your school’s security but need help navigating the grant process, i-PRO is here to support you every step of the way.
