Opportunity Information: Apply for CPSC 19 001
The Pool Safely Grant Program (PSGP) is a competitive federal grant opportunity run by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to help state and local governments strengthen pool and spa safety and reduce drowning and entrapment risks. The program is authorized under the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (Public Law 110-140), specifically section 1405, which focuses on improving compliance with safety requirements designed to prevent suction entrapment and other hazards in public pools and spas. In practical terms, the grant is meant to support government-led efforts that make pool safety rules more effective on the ground, particularly through enforcement, inspection capacity, education, and related safety initiatives tied to the Act.
For FY2019, CPSC planned to award up to a total of $2 million through project grants, spread across an estimated eight awards. Individual awards could be as high as $250,000 (the award ceiling). Funded projects were expected to run for a two-year project period, giving recipients time to build or expand sustainable safety programs rather than only funding short, one-time activities. Because this is a discretionary grant, funding is not automatic; applicants must submit proposals that meet eligibility and statutory requirements and are scored through a competitive review process.
Eligibility is limited to government entities at the state and local level, including state governments, county governments, and city or township governments. The funding activity area is consumer protection, reflecting the CPSC mission and the public safety focus of the VGB Act. The opportunity is listed under CFDA number 87.002, which is the federal assistance listing associated with this program area.
The official opportunity information identifies this grant as CPSC 19-001, created on March 25, 2019, with an original application deadline of June 5, 2019. The announcement emphasizes that it provides applicants with guidance on how to apply and how applications will be processed and evaluated, which typically includes expectations around project design, alignment with VGB Act requirements, how funds will be used, performance measurement, and administrative compliance for federal financial assistance. Overall, the PSGP is structured to help jurisdictions improve safety oversight of pools and spas in ways that prevent injuries and deaths, while reinforcing consistent implementation of VGB Act-related safety standards at the local level.Apply for CPSC 19 001
