It's clear today that improved school security is a necessity, not a luxury. That's why many government agencies and private organizations offer grants and other funding to schools that need help paying for the security systems that will provide peace of mind.  Grants.gov is a U.S. government site that includes more than 1,000 grant programs, allowing you to search for security grants and apply to them online.

Security is a top priority for school systems. But the reality is that funding to provide a safe, secure learning environment must often compete with traditional financing that pays for books and buildings. Fortunately, federal, state, private foundation and corporate grants are available to pay for security programs – if you know where to find them. Ingersoll Rand has developed expertise in the grant-funding process and can help you locate and apply for a security grant. We will help you analyze the options to find the one that's right for you.
