Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who is Jewish, said on Monday that there are $10 million in state funds available to nonprofits to fight hate crimes.<\/p>\n
The funds are available through the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency.<\/p>\n
\u201cProtecting public safety is our mission every day at PCCD, and this program truly exemplifies that,\u201d stated Kirsten Kenyon, executive director of the commission. <\/p>\n
\u201cBy once again investing $10 million in the Nonprofit Security Grant Fund Program in this year\u2019s budget, we\u2019re continuing to support critical security enhancements to help ensure that community members can safely gather, worship and access services without fear,\u201d Kenyon said. \u201cI strongly encourage eligible nonprofits to apply and take advantage of this funding.\u201d<\/p>\n
The funding \u201cwill support planning, training, equipment and technology upgrades at places of worship, community centers and other nonprofit institutions across the commonwealth that primarily serve individuals or communities at heightened risk of hate crimes,\u201d the state said.<\/p>\n
Grants range from $5,000 to $150,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(July 28, 2026 \/ JNS) Pennsylvania Gov.
