Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency
Established by law in 1978, the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) serves as the justice planning and policymaking agency for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. By bringing together a wide range of experts in the fields of criminal and juvenile justice, victim services, and related professions, PCCD coordinates the collective examination of problems, proposes solutions, and evaluates the impact of those solutions.
Nonprofit Security Grant Fund Program
Act 83 of 2019 directs PCCD to administer grants to nonprofit organizations which principally serve individuals, groups, or institutions that are included within a bias motivation category for single bias hate crime incidents as identified by the FBI’s 2017 Hate Crime Statistics publication. The categories include race/ethnicity/ancestry; religion; sexual orientation; disability; gender; and gender identity. Applicants were eligible for security enhancements designed to protect the safety and security of the users of a facility located in the Commonwealth that is owned or operated by the nonprofit organization.
On November 24, 2025, PCCD released the solicitation under this program via SurveyMonkey with the application period being closed on January 12, 2026. Priority consideration in the application review process was given to those nonprofit organizations that indicated that their organization or membership was the victim of a hate-crime and clearly articulated a credible hate-crime threat to their organization or served a population clearly susceptible to a hate-crime.
Funding under this non-competitive announcement is limited to supporting the 191 Nonprofit Security Grant Program applicant agencies as identified in Appendix A (of atteched PDF document).

Projects that equip recently connected people with knowledge and skills to protect themselves and their communities online.
Projects that advocate for and educate policy makers, courts, decision makers, and commercial entities about threats to the Internet as an open and accessible platform for free expression and the exchange of ideas, safeguarding fundamental rights, ensuring the well-being of users, and fostering trust in digital technologies.
Robison Foundation for Jewish Elders
Robison Foundation for Jewish Elders (RFJE) supports community organizations and initiatives by funding programs that enhance the lives of elders in the Jewish community of greater Portland and Southwest Washington by supporting their social, spiritual and physical well-being.
To achieve its mission, RFJE offers funding through four grant track opportunities:
ChikChok Grants
ChikChok (“fast-track”) grants are designed to support time-sensitive opportunities that benefit elders. These grants are intended to respond to emerging needs or unexpected opportunities, fund short-term programs, events, or pilot activities; and provide quickturnaround support with minimal administrative burden. ChikChok applications are accepted on a rolling basis, with decisions made quarterly.
The Purpose of the ChikChok Grants
ChikChok (“fast-track”) grants are designed to support time-sensitive opportunities that benefit elders. ChikChok applications are accepted on a rolling basis, with decisions made quarterly.
Grant funds will be used to address the following priority needs:
Robison Foundation for Jewish Elders
Robison Foundation for Jewish Elders (RFJE) supports community organizations and initiatives by funding programs that enhance the lives of elders in the Jewish community of greater Portland and Southwest Washington by supporting their social, spiritual and physical well-being.
To achieve its mission, RFJE offers funding through four grant track opportunities:
Oregon Jewish Community Foundation ( OJCF) administers and supports RFJE's grantmaking programs. In 2025, OJCF announced and managed the application process for RFJE's ChikChok, Kadimah, Nitzan, and Kulanu grant programs that support Jewish elders in Greater Portland and Southwest Washington. OJCF specifically stated that it is proud to support the administration of these grants.
Kadimah Grants
Kadimah (move forward) grants are designed to support growth, innovation and capacity-building to better serve elders. These grants are intended to launch new programs or expand existing ones, address identified community needs or service gaps; and invest in strategic planning, infrastructure and organizational capacity. There are two Kadimah grant cycles per year.
The Purpose of the Kadimah Grants
Grant awards for this Kadimah cycle will be $20,000-$50,000 per year, with multiyear commitments possible. There will be two grant cycles per year. We strongly encourage organizations to self-evaluate how they can effectively use grant funds-given existing organizational constraints-and ask for funding accordingly.
RFJE will limit funding of a program to no more than 10% of an organization’s overall budget during this grant cycle for their solo grant application.
For collaborative grants, RFJE will fund up to 50% of a program’s overall budget, irrespective of the organizational budget.
RFJE understands that effective planning is vital to nonprofit success. Thoughtful strategic planning strengthens and sustains vibrant community institutions. To support this work, RFJE will offer Kadimah planning grants—covering up to 100% of costs—to organizations with proven impact on community elders and sound fiscal management. We invite organizations seeking strategic, capacity-building support to expand services for elders to apply for funding.
We believe that overreliance on a single funder can undermine a nonprofit’s long-term stability and encourage you to share how others are supporting your work. RFJE does not guarantee a specific award amount and reserves the right to decline any or all proposals.
We hope Kadimah grants will serve as a catalyst to inspire new projects and activities or expand and enhance existing programs that address the community’s priority needs.
Grant Size and Timeframe Parameters
RFJE will consider funding proposals for up to three years and encourages applicants seeking multi-year support to request reduced funding amounts in the second and third years (“step-down funding”). For approved multi-year grants, RFJE will commit to funding for the full proposed term, contingent on annual reporting requirements and on agreed-upon criteria and conditions established by RFJE and the applicant to assess the program’s progress.

These grants are intended to fund collaborative, multi-organization initiatives, address systemic challenges and service gaps; and focus on sustainable, communitywide solutions.
The Purpose of the Kulanu Grants
Grant awards for this Kulanu cycle will be $50,000+ per year, with multiyear commitments possible. There will be two grant cycles per year. We strongly encourage organizations to self evaluate how they can effectively use grant funds-given existing organizational constraints-ask for funding accordingly.

Nitzan Grants
Nitzan (blossom) grants are designed to support early-stage ideas and modest program expansions. These grants are intended to pilot new concepts with room to grow, expand existing programs in a limited but meaningful way; and bridge the gap between small, rapid-response funding and larger investments.
The Purpose of the Nitzan Grants
Grant awards for this Nitzan cycle will be $5,000-$20,000 per year. There will be two grant cycles per year. We strongly encourage organizations to self-evaluate how they can effectively use grant funds-given existing organizational constraints-ask for funding accordingly.
Collaboration with other aligned non-profit organizations in a joint grant application is encouraged. Funds will be awarded to the lead applicant who will also be responsible for measured outcomes reporting.

About NPCF
The Northern Piedmont Community Foundation (NPCF) began in December 2000 when nine concerned citizens from Virginia’s Piedmont region were searching for solutions to the charitable needs in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, and Rappahannock counties. With modest beginnings, our funds have grown to over $39 million in support of local charities, scholarships and community need in our northern Piedmont region.
NPCF manages a wide variety of funds established by local individuals, families, businesses, or charitable institutions. Through our investment strategies, the returns from these funds are put back into the community through grant cycles, and scholarships, along with the personal causes the fund holder holds dear.
On the nonprofit side, the staff at NPCF is committed to building deep bonds with our region’s nonprofits, educating and supporting them in their health as businesses and their resilience in their missions of supporting our most vulnerable.
We believe that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. By working on both sides of the equation — growing our citizens’ resources while maximizing local nonprofits’ use of those resources — NPCF is ensuring that each link in the chain is healthy, strong, and contributing to the wellness of the Northern Piedmont community.
Scholarships
Northern Piedmont Community Foundation manages the scholarship application process for dozens of scholarships for students in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, and Rappahannock counties (as well as a handful serving students from surrounding counties too).
St. Luke’s Foundation Scholarship Fund (Universal Application)
The St. Luke’s Foundation Scholarship is open to seniors who are residents of Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, or Rappahannock counties, and are alumni of any private school in Culpeper County, although priority is given to St. Luke’s alumni. The qualifying candidate should possess a minimum GPA of 3.0, demonstrate good academic standing, have community service experience and possess an academic record that displays leadership and initiative. Up to three scholarships are available for $1,000 – $2,000 depending on GPA. This award is renewable for all four years provided the student maintains a GPA of 3.0 and submits transcripts annually to NPCF
