The Pool Safely Grant Program (PSGP) is a grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to assist state, local, and Native American tribal governments in implementing enforcement and education programs to prevent the drowning and drain entrapment of children in pools and spas. Eligible applicants include city/township governments, state governments, special district governments, tribal organizations, tribal governments, and county governments. The grant opportunity requires that at least 25% of funds be used for enforcement activities, while up to 75% may be used for education. The application deadline is July 12, 2024, and awards are anticipated to be announced on August 30, 2024. The evaluation criteria include the applicant's plan for implementing enforcement and education programs, the potential impact of the proposed activities, and the overall quality and feasibility of the application.
The total available funding for the PSGP is $3 million, with individual awards expected to range from $50,000 to $400,000 over a 2-year project period. The grant is part of the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety program (CFDA 87.002), which aims to reduce the number of drowning and drain entrapment-related injuries and deaths of children associated with pools and spas.
