Fiscal Year 2024 Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program

The Fiscal Year 2024 Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention (TVTP) Grant Program aims at preventing acts of targeted violence and terrorism, which threaten the sense of security and freedom in American communities. These threats are often preventable, and the grant program is intended to enhance our ability to anticipate and prevent them. This is achieved through funding, training, public awareness programs, and forming partnerships across various sectors.

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.
