Business Safety and Security Grant for Local Businesses
GrantID: 76245
Grant Funding Amount Low: $5,000
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $5,000
Summary
Grant opportunity to locally owned businesses in a mid-sized mountain-front city in Colorado to help improve safety and security at commercial properties. The intent of the funding is to encourage investments that make business districts more secure and inviting, protect property and people, and enhance the overall economic environment. The program is designed to reduce barriers to safety improvements by offering direct reimbursement for approved projects.
Individual awards are available in amounts up to $5,000 per business. The funds are not typically structured as matching grants; instead, recipients may be reimbursed for eligible purchases after work is completed and approved. Because the award amounts are modest, the funding is well suited to enhancements that have a direct impact on a business’s safety profile without requiring large capital investments.
Eligible applicants include small businesses that operate from commercially zoned property within the municipality. Nonprofit organizations that operate qualifying commercial establishments may also be able to participate, but the focus is on businesses and property owners whose improvements contribute to safer public and commercial spaces. Individuals seeking personal financial support or upgrades to residential property do not qualify. The business must be in good standing with relevant local licensing and permitting requirements.
The funding may be used for a range of safety and security upgrades. Examples include installing or upgrading exterior lighting, security cameras, alarm systems, reinforced doors and window hardware, safety signage, and other fixed improvements that deter crime and improve visibility. The goal is to help businesses take practical steps that enhance their physical safety environment and support broader community safety efforts.
Applications are accepted during specified periods, and once approved, recipients are expected to complete projects by the end of the calendar year. After completion, businesses submit documentation of work and expenses to receive reimbursement. Overall, this opportunity offers targeted funds to help small businesses implement safety improvements that protect property, staff, and customers while contributing to a more vibrant and secure commercial environment.
