      Resources for Leaders of Faith-Based Communities, Organizations, and InstitutionsTargeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program
The Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention (TVTP) Grant Program provides funding for state, local, tribal, and territorial governments; nonprofits; and institutions of higher education with funds to establish or enhance capabilities to prevent targeted violence and terrorism.

The Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24) TVTP Application Guidance has been released! View the forecasted opportunity and download the application guidance.

Acts of targeted violence and terrorism are often preventable. The TVTP Grant Program provides financial assistance to develop sustainable, multidisciplinary prevention capabilities in local communities, pilot innovative prevention approaches, and identify prevention best practices that can be replicated in communities across the country. TVTP Grantees leverage an approach informed by public health research, by bringing together mental health providers, educators, faith leaders, public health and safety officials, social services, nonprofits, and others in communities across the country to help people who are on a pathway to violence before harm occurs.

TVTP grantees have successfully implemented prevention projects since FY20. In addition to developing sustainable prevention capabilities, the TVTP Grant Program's goals include sharing promising practices and lessons learned with prevention practitioners around the country. Prevention providers are encouraged to review our TVTP Grantee Results to develop or enhance their own programming.

Privacy, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties

CP3 ensures adequate protections for individuals’ privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties, as required under DHS legal authorities and DHS policy, as part of its mission and operations. Preventing targeted violence and terrorism requires the trust and voluntary involvement of all elements of society to be successful, and CP3 works to ensure that its programs include fundamental constitutional and legal protections. CP3 equips its partners to prevent targeted violence or terrorism in their own communities. As such, CP3 does not broadly collect information or participate in law enforcement investigations, intelligence collection, or other direct or indirect disruption of active threats. Additionally, CP3 does not engage in censorship or encourage or facilitate any censorship by its grant recipients. Government censorship of viewpoints not only infringes on individuals’ constitutional rights, but it is also an ineffective tactic to prevent targeted violence and terrorism.

CP3 encourages the public to review section IV (pp. 8-14) of the CP3 Report to Congress for more detailed information on the privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties protections built in to the TVTP Grant Program.

Evaluation and Evidence

As part of its mission, CP3 prioritizes adding to the evidence base of targeted violence and terrorism prevention. The TVTP Grant Program was established with evaluation built in through a partnership with the DHS Science and Technology Directorate (S&T). Since FY20, CP3 and S&T have partnered to establish third-party evaluation of a subset of TVTP grant projects (~7 projects per cycle). CP3 publishes these evaluations when complete.

CP3 is committed to supporting first-time applicants, particularly those representing underserved communities, and provides the following resources:

      FY2023 TVTP Grant Program
      On September 6, 2023, DHS announced the award of 34 grants, totaling $20 million, under the TVTP Grant Program for Fiscal Year 2023 (FY23). The TVTP Grant Program provides financial assistance to eligible applicants to develop sustainable, multidisciplinary targeted violence and terrorism prevention capabilities in local communities, to pilot innovative prevention approaches, and to identify prevention best practices that can be replicated in communities across the country.

This program, administered by CP3 and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, is the only federal grant program solely dedicated to helping local communities develop and strengthen their capabilities in this area.

The FY23 TVTP Grant Program has the following priorities:

Implementing Prevention Capabilities in Small and Mid-Sized Communities;
	Advancing Equity in Awards and Engaging Underserved Communities in Prevention;
	Addressing Online Aspects of Targeted Violence and Terrorism;
	Preventing Domestic Violent Extremism; and
	Enhancing Local Threat Assessment and Management Capabilities.FY23 TVTP Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO)
