Fortunately, there is support available. Through a collaboration with the Grants Office LLC, I-Pro in the US offers a dedicated grant support programme to assist K-12 institutions in identifying and applying for security funding. This no-cost service, according to the company, has already helped I-Pro customers secure $47 million in grant funding for safety improvements.
How the I-Pro grant support programme works
- Simple engagement: Start by submitting a quick form outlining your school’s security needs and project timeline.
- Customised 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. For schools seeking to enhance their security that also need help navigating the grant process, this I-Pro service is able to support those that need it every step of the way.
