Lt. Gov. Austin Davis Announces Availability of Nonprofit Security Grant Funds to Make Pennsylvania Communities Safer

Lt. Gov. Austin Davis, who serves as chair of the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD), joined state leaders at the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh to announce the availability of $10 million in funding for nonprofit organizations to protect the safety and security of their facilities.

With the passage of the 2024-25 budget, the Shapiro-Davis Administration secured twice the amount of funding provided through this program last year to support much-needed planning, training, equipment, and technology upgrades for places of worship, community centers and other nonprofit entities.

"Hate has absolutely no place in Pennsylvania," Lt. Gov. Davis said. "No matter what you look like, who you love or how you worship, every Pennsylvanian deserves to be safe and feel safe in their community. With the additional $5 million investment that the Shapiro-Davis Administration secured in this year's budget, even more nonprofit organizations will have the resources they need to keep their members and visitors safe from threats and acts of violence."

Speakers Include:
Shawn Brokos, Pittsburgh Jewish Federation
LT. Gov Davis
Senator Jay Costa
Representative Dan Frankel
Representative Abigail Salisbury
Tree of Life CEO Carole Zawatsky
