Opportunity Information: Apply for 693JK320NF0007
The Community Safety Grant (Funding Opportunity Number 693JK320NF0007) is a federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). It falls under the broad theme of transportation-related safety and is categorized as a grant (not a contract or cooperative agreement). The program is listed under CFDA 20.703 and is framed generally as "Community Safety Grants," which indicates a focus on activities that strengthen safety outcomes for communities in areas connected to PHMSA's mission, such as pipeline and hazardous materials transportation safety.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have recognized 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, specifically excluding institutions of higher education. In practical terms, this means community-based nonprofits, advocacy organizations, and other qualifying charitable entities may apply, as long as they meet the IRS 501(c)(3) requirement and are not colleges or universities applying as higher education institutions.
The opportunity was created on February 4, 2020, with an original application closing date of March 19, 2020, giving applicants a relatively short window to prepare and submit materials during that cycle. The maximum possible award amount (the award ceiling) is $1,000,000 per award, and the agency anticipated making about 10 awards. If fully funded at the ceiling, that would imply up to $10 million in total awards, though actual award sizes can vary depending on the agency's final selections and available appropriations.
In summary, this grant is a PHMSA/DOT funding opportunity intended to support qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofits working on community safety initiatives connected to transportation safety, with awards potentially reaching up to $1 million and roughly ten expected recipients in the referenced funding round.Apply for 693JK320NF0007
