The COPS Office anticipates making approximately 160 SVPP awards.
Each award will be capped at $500,000 of federal funding.
Microgrants: Approximately $1 million of the available funding will be reserved for microgrants for school districts, including rural, tribal, and low-resourced schools. Microgrant award requests must be for $100,000 or less, and the 25% local match (cost share) requirement may be waived if fiscal need is demonstrated. Consideration for microgrant funding does not exclude the applicant agency from other SVPP funding.
The period of performance of SVPP awards will be three years (36 months) for the implementation of projects funded under this program.
