About crime prevention grants in Maryland
Crime prevention grants fund community policing, youth programs, neighborhood safety initiatives, environmental design, and evidence-based prevention strategies. The U.S. Department of Justice is the leading federal funder through the COPS Office, the Bureau of Justice Assistance and the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program, and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention for youth-focused work. State administering agencies distribute much of this funding, and private foundations support local prevention and community safety programs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What grants are available for crime prevention?
Crime prevention grants fund community policing, youth mentoring and after-school programs, neighborhood watch and safety initiatives, crime prevention through environmental design, school safety, and data-driven prevention strategies. Federal sources include the COPS Office, the Bureau of Justice Assistance and its Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program, and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention for youth work. State agencies and private foundations add further support for local programs.
Who funds crime prevention grants?
The U.S. Department of Justice is the dominant federal funder, working through the COPS Office, the Office of Justice Programs and its Bureau of Justice Assistance, and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. Much of this money is administered by State Administering Agencies that run their own competitions. Beyond government, national and community foundations and corporate philanthropy fund neighborhood safety, youth development, and prevention initiatives directly.
How can a community group fund a crime prevention program?
Community groups often combine sources: a sub-grant from their State Administering Agency under a federal formula program like JAG, partnership with a local law enforcement agency that holds a COPS Office award, and private foundation grants for the community-facing elements. Because many federal programs require a government applicant, partnering with a city, county, or police department as the lead applicant or fiscal sponsor is a common and effective path. Tie every request to local crime data and a clear, measurable strategy.
