DHS recently announced that beginning in FY 2016, non-governmental organizations will be eligible for DHS funding to promote community resilience against the threat of violent extremism. 

The DHS Office for Community Partnerships is working closely with the Federal Emergency Management Agency to ensure funding is awarded to community-based programs that draw from a range of local partners—for example, educators, social service and mental health providers, faith leaders and public safety officials. 

The notice of funding opportunity and application process is now open.  For more information on how to apply please go here: www.dhs.gov/cvegrants. 

For programmatic questions about the funding opportunity please reach out to: CommunityPartnerships@hq.dhs.gov.
