LENS Outreach
The LENS Selection Panel reviews funding requests from the Sullivan’s Island Police and neighbors to support initiatives that enhance public safety services and benefit the island's residents. Our efforts focus on giving back to the community by partnering exclusively with the SIPD and collaborating with residents to support island families and those in need. We also provide support and appreciation for our officers and their families through morale-boosting initiatives. Funding applications should fall into one of three categories: Hardship Awards, SIPD Education Scholarships, or Community Event Sponsorship.
Hardship
Future Programming: The LENS Hardship Awards provide crucial financial assistance to Officers and community members facing unexpected challenges, such as medical expenses, temporary housing, and other emergencies.
Education Scholarships
Future Programing: The LENS Education Scholarship Awards Program offers scholarships to members of the SIPD, as well as their school-aged children and spouses, to help cover the costs of primary and secondary education. These scholarships aim to promote the value of education and ease the financial burdens on our officers and their families.
Community Partnership Events
The LENS Community Partnership initiative aims to bring the SIPD, residents and visitors together through LENS sponsored events to build community and support island relations.
