Teleconference March 21 on Funding Sources for School and Community Violence Prevention

SILVER SPRING, MD, March 21, 2013 (Press-News.org) Children & Youth Funding Report, a national online grants news service, announces an important teleconference on Thursday, March 21 on new funding for a wide range of violence prevention initiatives for schools at all levels, as well as other public facilities..

Despite the impact of sequestration and 2013 budget difficulties, federal funding opportunities focused on school and community safety are still on track -- with several already out and others in the works -- from such agencies as Education, Health & Human Services, Justice, Homeland Security, Agriculture and Labor.

This program, "Funding School and Community Safety," will offer valuable advice straight from federal officials that can make a key difference in an grantseeker's efforts, and highlight safety-related funding that is often overlooked in other programs.

Plus, with a rebounding economy and rising stock market, private giving presents many opportunities. The teleconference will review some of the best public safety opportunities from both foundation and corporate donors.
