The Targeted Community Investment Grant program funds community-based violence prevention programs and activities that improve public safety, increase opportunities for self-development and care and build a stronger sense of community throughout neighborhoods most impacted by gun violence.
TCIG grantees have trauma-informed approaches to gun violence, build resiliency in their communities, mediate conflicts, and promote social or economic empowerment. Examples of past programs include, but are not limited to:
Resource fairs
Outreach events
Job training and career development
Neighborhood and community beautification
Education events and workshops
Community engagement
Special consideration is given to applications that address the needs of young people aged 16-24 and young adults between 25-34, as well as those that show youth, community, and/or multi-organization collaboration.
