Lt. Gov. Austin Davis visited the LGBT Center of Central Pennsylvania to highlight $10 million in grants that have been awarded to more than 200 nonprofit organizations - including the LGBT Center - to enhance the safety and security of their facilities."Every Pennsylvanian should have the freedom to love who they love, pray how they want to pray and be their authentic selves - free from threats of violence and harassment," said Davis, who also serves as chair of the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD). "That's why the Shapiro-Davis Administration advocated for an increase in funding for nonprofit security grants in this year's bipartisan state budget. By doubling this grant program, we've been able to fund more than 200 organizations in 31 counties, including more than 100 organizations that had never received a grant before, so they can keep their facilities safe and secure and protect the communities they serve."PCCD administers the Nonprofit Security Grant Fund Program, which has provided $25 million in funding to more than 580 organizations since its inception. On top of that, this latest, seventh round of grants will go to 208 nonprofit organizations, including 102 organizations that had never before received funding through this program.Speakers Include:Executive Director Amber Roadcap, LGBT Center of Central PALt.
