Rolling Meadows, IL, Nov. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- i-PRO Americas Inc., (formerly a division of Panasonic), a global leader in professional security solutions for surveillance and public safety, is celebrating American Education Week by encouraging K-12 institutions to tap the free-of-charge services of its Grants Program to help procure funding for security infrastructure projects needed to protect students, staff and schools.
While hundreds of millions of dollars in local, state, and federal grant funding is available to schools for security upgrades, researching and applying for those grants is highly complex, and most K-12 institutions are significantly limited in terms of the resources, expertise, and time they can devote to those projects.
For this reason, in 2013, i-PRO (then Panasonic) partnered with the Grants Office LLC and set up a specialized program to assist K-12 institutions in finding and applying for grant funding for security projects. The program is free of charge, and without any requirement on how the funds must be used. Since its inception, the i-PRO Grants Program has assisted in the award of 160 grants totaling more than $42 million to K-12 and similar 501 (c) (3) entities.
The Grants Program is one component of i-PRO’s comprehensive offering that provides K-12 institutions with the best technology, incentives, tools, and support to create safe, secure learning environments. The company’s security solutions are trusted by thousands of K-12 institutions nationwide.
