Special Project Funds

The award of CCPD Community Based Funds can be expended on personnel costs (including benefits), travel,
supplies, equipment, contracts/consultants and indirect costs as laid out in each awarded agency’s budget
summary. Indirect costs cannot exceed 10 percent of the funds requested in the total program budget. Awarded
agencies must submit monthly reports to FWPD staff that outline fund expenditures and performance results prior
to reimbursement.

The CCPD Community Based Fund will retain the same policy requirements as the Crime Control and Prevention
District Fund (operating). Appropriations within the CCPD Community Based Fund, allow the Police Fiscal
Command staff the ability to monitor expenditures to ensure compliance with CCPD Financial Policy and individual
agency agreements.

FY2023 DISCUSSION

Department to receive grant funds in two areas:

1. Development Grants (1-Year/$50,000 max) these grants are designed to strengthen agencies that are
involved in impacting crime/safety. These grants are broken into 3-project categories.

community identified crime/safety problems. Funds are available to build on and establish the
agency’s capacity to perform daily operations.

b. Planning Projects are for eligible agencies to plan and develop a strategy to address a crime/safety
problem. Funds are available to evaluate a proposed crime/safety problem, develop a viable
programmatic response, and develop the agency’s ability to respond to those problems.

c. Strategic Enhancements Projects are for eligible agencies that propose to address at least one
CCPD Goal. Funds are available to enhance current programs that are likely to be sustained
beyond the project period.

2. Program Grants (3-Year/$300K Max) – The grants are for agencies that have a high likelihood of success
based on the agency’s documented performance and an established strategy that will result in a change
to a relevant crime/safety problem.
