The Sacramento Police Department’s Office of Violence Prevention is asking local community-based nonprofit organizations and 501(c)(3) groups to submit applications for two grant opportunities totaling nearly $2.2 million to provide violence prevention programs.
The primary focus of these grant programs is to improve community health and safety.
“We want our community groups to have a chance to join the team, submit a proposal and get funded while giving back to the community,” said Sac PD Sgt. Carlos Martinez. “These programs will provide services to high-risk youth and their families who are disproportionately impacted by violence, particularly to those affected by gang-related homicides, shootings and aggravated assaults.”
Projects must be located within the city of Sacramento areas of Del Paso Heights, Meadowview/Mack Road and Oak Park.
Sac PD Office of Violence Prevention will be hosting two applicant information sessions from 1 to 4 p.m. Sept. 13 and from noon to 3 p.m. Sept 19. Those interested must attend a minimum of one session to apply.
