Security Grant Application

Georgia Interfaith Power & Light (GIPL) is offering grants to partners hosting nonpartisan Get Out the Vote (GOTV) events. This grant is intended to defray the cost of security at those events. It provides up to $1,500 for security measures at participating 501(c)(3) congregations. Funds are self-directed by local site leadership and can cover up to 2 security officers (armed or unarmed), mobile vehicle patrols for neighborhood canvassing, secure document shredding, and digital threat mitigation.

‍ To be eligible, you must have a registered Green Team with GIPL (you can register your Green Team here), and your non-partisan GOTV event must reference the Public Service Commission race.


The application period runs from Sept. 3, 2026 to Oct. 3, 2026. Awards will be made on an ongoing basis. All payments will be made via ACH/direct deposit into the grantee's designated bank account once a Form W-9 and a deposit authorization form are digitally executed. For the deposit authorization form, please email accounting@gipl.org.
