The Community Police Commission is on track to begin distributing its 2024 grants by the end of June.
The Budget and Grants Committee will meet next Tuesday, June 24, to review the final list of grantees selected by the United Black Fund, which the CPC contracted last year to manage the grant cycle from start to finish. If there are no objections, the committee will vote to present UBF’s list of finalists to the full commission at its meeting on Wednesday, June 25. A majority vote by the full commission would authorize UBF to move forward and begin awarding grants to the selected organizations.
The funds will support programs focused on community-based violence prevention, restorative justice, and mediation—initiatives designed to reduce the need for police involvement.
Both meetings will be held at the CPC office from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. Agendas and supporting materials will be posted to the CPC website at least one day in advance. Paper copies will be available upon request.
Once the commission approves the final list of grantees, UBF will contact the selected organizations and invite them to an informational session covering next steps and compliance requirements.
We’re excited to see the impact these grants will have across our communities this summer and look forward to reviewing even more applications for the 2025 grant cycle, which will open up later this year.
