PND - RFPs Announcing the 2010 Metlife Foundation Community-Police Partnership Awards

The MetLife Foundation and the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) are partnering for the ninth year to recognize, sustain, and share the work of innovative partnerships between community groups and police to promote neighborhood safety and revitalization. Through this awards program, the MetLife Foundation and LISC will identify and honor partnerships that exhibit tangible accomplishments in their efforts to advance the process, outcome, and/or evaluation of potent police-community collaborations. Awardees will receive grants ranging from $15,000 to $25,000. Case studies about award-winning partnerships will be disseminated throughout the community development and law enforcement industries. Cash grants will be awarded in the following two categories:

Neighborhood Revitalization Awards (six awards ranging between $15,000 and 25,000 each): These awards celebrate exemplary collaboration between community groups and police that yields crime reduction as well as economic development outcomes such as real estate development, business attraction, and job growth.

Special Strategy Awards (five awards of $15,000 each): This award recognizes community and police partners who have achieved significant accomplishments in applied technology, aesthetics and greenspace improvement, diversity inclusion and integration, drug market disruption, gang prevention and youth safety, and/or seniors and safety.

Eligible applicants must be member organizations of partnerships that include, but need not be limited to, community organizations and police. Visit the LISC website for additional information and to download the full RFP.
