What is the Purpose of the Grant?

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office cares about the community we serve and firmly believes that criminals should pay to help make it better. For these reasons, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office has made available funds that were seized from criminal activity to put back into building our community. We are currently accepting grant applications for up to $3,000.00 to assist in this goal.
