Overview
The program, also known as CP3, collaborates with mental health providers, educators, faith leaders, public safety officials, social services, nonprofits, and more, in a bid to stop violence before it occurs. The TVTP Grant Program offers financial assistance, training, and resources to eligible applicants. Accordingly, it helps build sustainable, multi-faceted, violence prevention capabilities at a local level, test creative prevention strategies, and explore best practices for prevention.
The TVTP Grant Program acknowledges that lone offenders and small groups motivated by diverse violent extremist ideologies, whether of domestic or foreign origin, pose significant threats to the country. These include racially or ethnically motivated extremists, anti-government and anti-authority threats. The program also recognizes the continuing influence of foreign terrorist organizations like Al-Qa'ida and ISIS on individuals within and outside the U.S. Additionally, the program is mindful of the rise in mass violence attacks lacking a specific ideological focus, such as school shootings, and the increase in violence against Jewish, Muslim, and Arab communities.
The grant program is open to online, in-person, and hybrid projects that tackle the threat from online pathways to violence and physical spaces, underlining the misuse of online platforms by domestic violence extremists to push narratives stirring violence. Moreover, the TVTP Grant Program endorses the development and implementation of TVTP strategies at the state, regional, or community levels. Importantly, all projects must respect privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties, and they should not be designed or operated in a manner that curbs individual free speech or targets anyone exercising their First Amendment rights.
