Funding

As a research-based program, Safe School Ambassadors can be launched and supported with Safe & Drug-Free Schools funding.

Schools also secure funds from their Site Council, the general operating budget, principal's discretionary funds, funds for student activities, funds from PTAs, and funds from special school-safety-related grants.

Some schools have found additional funds from external sources like police departments, businesses, service clubs, hospitals, and local or community foundations.

We have developed a Funding Tool Kit that provides a step-by-step guide to securing funds for SSA from non-school sources in your community or region. Includes templates for letters to service clubs and other organizations, and links to other resource including an outline for a presentation about the program. Designed to make it easy to delegate this project to a team or committee of staff and/or parents. To obtain a Funding Tool Kit for your school, please contact us.

We can provide more specific assistance if it would help you secure start-up funds.
