While government programs are the primary source of grant funding for law enforcement, it is possible for police departments to obtain financial support from private family and corporate foundations. The process to identify and apply for foundation grants differs from that of government and grant programs. Agencies should utilize particular strategies to approach private foundations, and department personnel will need to sharpen and expand their grant writing skills. In this period of harsh budget cuts and diminishing government grants, the extra effort required to pursue private funding is worthwhile because it can lead to additional funding for vital public safety programs.
