So far this week we have been seeking workable solutions for violence in our communities. We also share that there are two funding opportunities that have been announced that could pay for proposed solutions to violence in the communities.
These grant opportunities are from the government as well as from a private foundation. The government agency is The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Community Capacity Development Office (CCDO). The program being funded is called the Weed and Seed Communities Competitive Program. Applicants may apply for up to $150,000 in Weed and Seed funding. All Weed and Seed awards will last for 12 months. CCDO may award up to $1 million in Weed and Seed funding to each community over the 5-year eligibility period.
The private foundation that is offering a grant is the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The program being funded is their Local Funding Partnerships: Peaceful Pathways: Reducing Exposure to Violence project. Up to eight matching grants of between $50,000 to $200,000 each will be awarded. Up to $1 million is available for the 2009 grant cycle.
Go to http://solutionsonlinethinktank.com to find the links that will lead you to more information about both grant opportunities.
