Funding & Grants

Billions exist for school safety.

Talk to a funding specialist and we'll help you find the funding and navigate the application. From a flagship federal grant to state-specific programs and cooperative purchasing, we'll help you find the right path, qualify, and apply.

There are more ways to fund campus safety than most schools realize.

Budgets are stretched, but the security of students, faculty, staff, and visitors is still a priority. From federal grants to cooperative purchasing and community funding, we partner with you on the path that fits your district, and in many cases, ZeroEyes can be deployed for just a few dollars per student each year.
