Eligibility

To be eligible, an organization must be based in Jackson County, MO; Clay County, MO; Wyandotte County, KS; or Johnson County, KS, and must serve residents in low- to moderate-income neighborhoods within those same counties. Applicants must be a state-registered entity and must dedicate at least 75% of the organization’s efforts to crime prevention, violence prevention, community safety, or closely related work. Organizations must have at least one year of operating history in this area and must propose work that expands or strengthens an already implemented strategy (not a brand-new effort with no track record). In addition, current and/or prior-year organizational revenue must be under $750,000.00, and all funded activities must comply with relevant laws and regulations regarding non-partisan civic engagement.
