Introduction
Crime prevention programs are the programs that are primarily incepted to aid in
curtailing the offenders from engaging in crimes and offenses. When incepting a crime
prevention program, it is imperative to come up with a grant funding proposal that would help in
soliciting funds for the program (Metsala, David, and Brown, 2017). From the scenario under
evaluation, it is vital to depict that my community has experienced a rise in cases of theft,
burglaries and fraud schemes. Despite the fact that the local benefactor has offered $300,000 to
cater for the expenses of the crime prevention program, still, there is a deficit since the funds
offered by the local benefactor may not cover the necessary funding. Therefore it is vital to
solstice for extra funds to ensure that the crime prevention program is implemented. This paper,
therefore, explores the common grant types and the funding agencies that will help in funding the
grant. The paper also expounds on the teamwork strategies that would be implemented in the
development of the proposal. It also expounds on the logic model and the resources required for
the project to be implemented.
Common Grant Types and Possible Sources
One of the common grant types regarding the case under evaluation is the community
safety fund grant. The community safety fund is primarily incepted to provide funds for the
safety initiatives of the community that are aimed at enhancing security and reducing the rates of
crimes in a particular community. One of the objectives of the community safety fund grant is to
enhance the knowledge of the societies and people in the particular community on how to
ascertain and address the local crime challenges. The grant also aims at encouraging the
inception of partnership programs to aid in addressing the crime prevention challenges. Another

possible type of grant that can be incepted in the situation under analysis is the place-based
targeted grant. The place-based targeted grant is mainly incepted to help in supporting the local
partnership programs that are aimed at reducing the crime risks and enhancing the safety of the
community (Chataway and Hart, 2018).
Funding Agencies for Funding the Grant
One of the agencies that would be embraced in funding the ascertained grant is the Crime
Prevention Action Fund Agency. The Crime Prevention Action Fund agency works by providing
contribution funding and limited grant that aid in supporting the crime prevention initiatives
(Greer, 2015). The agency has an objective of supporting the development of resources and
dissemination of knowledge to help in implementing the crime prevention practices (Chataway
and Hart, 2018). The agency is anticipated to provide funds worth $50,000 towards supporting
the inception of the crime prevention program in the community. Another agency that would
help in the funding of the grant is the Bureau of Justice Assistance Agency. The team will be
required to file an application requesting for funds from the Bureau of Justice Agency. The total
amount of funds that would be sourced from the agency is $70,000.0716687056
Team Work Strategies when Developing the Proposal
When developing a proposal for a particular program, it is vital to embrace the teamwork
strategies to fully realize the success of the proposal. Since the proposal will be incepted through
the cooperation and incorporation of the team members, I will deploy various strategies to ensure
that the team members work effectively for the completion of the proposal. One of the strategies
that I would implement is ensuring a continuous flow of communication with the team members
I the course of developing the proposal. Proper and regular communication with the team

members helps in the clarification of the directives and informing the team members on the
progress of the proposal. (Keville et al, 2017).
Promotion of trust and cooperation among the team members is another strategy that I
would embrace to ensure effective working among the team members. Such a strategy is
important as it would aid in establishing effective relationships among the team members and
encouraging the sharing of ideologies in the course of developing the proposal (Keville et al,
2017). I will also establish the team goals and values and ensure that the performance of the team
members is regularly evaluated. Such a strategy will aid the team members to understand their
roles and responsibilities and work towards accomplishing the goals of the team.

of theft and burglaries in most of the
businesses’ in the community has triggered the
need for the crime prevention program.

Budget

The total budget for the inception of the crime
prevention program is $150,000
Resources Needed For Project Implementation
One of the resources that would be required for the successful implementation of the
project is time. The team members and stakeholders of the project would be required to dedicate
their time to the successful implementation of the project.
The efforts of the community are other resources that would be required for the
successful implementation of the project. The community members would be required to
cooperate and participate in supporting the inception of the program. Funds would also be
required to help in supporting the inception of the programs. The advertising tools for the
program and the creation of awareness among the community members are required as resources
for the successful implementation of the program. The education tools will also be required to
help in educating the community members on how to use the program to curtail the issues of
crime, especially in businesses.
