Prepare your agency to compete for critical public safety funding by joining the Lexipol GrantFinder Team for an exclusive webinar designed to help you navigate state-administered grants tied to major upcoming events such as the FIFA World Cup 2026 and America250 celebrations.

In this webinar our experts will break down how to apply for funding under the Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) and FIFA World Cup Grant Programs (FWCGP). You’ll also learn how to effectively collaborate with your State Administrative Agency (SAA) — the key partner in accessing these grants — and where to find official contact information to get started.

We’ll share insider tips to help your agency stand out, including what documentation to prepare, how to demonstrate operational readiness and how to align your proposals with both state and national security priorities. Whether you’re part of a county, municipality or partner agency, this webinar will equip you with the tools to plan, prepare and apply with confidence.

By attending this webinar, you will learn:

  • Who to contact for grant coordination and eligibility guidance.
  • What information to compile to strengthen funding proposals.
  • How to align your projects with state and national security priorities tied to major upcoming events.
