Public Safety Foundation of America
Inspired by an offer from Nextel to help expedite Public Safety Answering
Point (PSAP) readiness, the Association of Public-Safety Communications
Officials, International (APCO) decided to form a new charitable Foundation.
Under the plan the Foundation will accept private, corporate and public
donations on behalf of the public safety community then distribute those funds
to provide both financial grants and technical support to individual nonprofit
PSAPs across the nation. The APCO Board of Officers will serve as the Board of
Directors for the Foundation. A Foundation Advisory Board, consisting of the
following member organizations, shall be responsible for reviewing all
applications and recommending approval of grants.
Department of Homeland Security Grants
This site provides information on homeland security
and public safety grant opportunities offered by
agencies across the Federal government and is intended
to simplify access to these grants by placing
information in a single, easily accessible site. It
includes grants offered by the Department of Homeland
Security as well as other Federal Departments and
Agencies. Critical state and local missions supported
through these grants include the preparedness of first
responders and citizens, public health, infrastructure
security, and other public safety activities.
While these programs vary considerably in their size and
scope, they all contribute to making our nation more
secure against the threat of terrorism, as well as other
natural and man-made hazards.
