Issacson lands Nonprofit Security Grant Program Awards
Rep. Mary Isaacson October 24, 2024 | 3:11 PM
State Rep. Mary Isaacson said today she’s proud to report nearly $400,000 in state funding has been awarded to protect historically marginalized groups in her legislative district.
“Every Pennsylvanian deserves the right to feel safe where they live, work, play and worship,” said Isaacson. “This funding will enhance security measures to protect vulnerable groups from acts of hate, reaffirming our stance that everyone should have a sense of peace and safety whether they are worshiping, working, or gathering with their community.”
In the 2024-25 state budget, House Democrats voted to bolster the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency’s Nonprofit Security Grant Program to protect vulnerable communities from hate crimes.
Funding for this program was more than doubled within the state budget, thanks to the leadership of Gov. Josh Shapiro and House Democrats.
The following organizations recently received awards from the Pennsylvania Commission Crime and Delinquency’s Nonprofit Security Grant Program:
- Arch Street Meeting House Preservation Trust
- Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corp Chinatown Community Park
- Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History
PCCD administers the Nonprofit Security Grant Fund Program, which has provided $25 million in funding to more than 580 organizations since its inception. This latest, seventh round of grants was awarded to 208 nonprofit organizations, including 102 organizations that had never received funding through this program before.
More information about the 208 selected applicants, counties served, and award amounts can be found on the PCCD website.
