McConaughey Launches Initiative to Help Schools Access Safety Grants After Uvalde Shooting

Matthew McConaughey and his wife Camila launched the Greenlights Grant Initiative to help schools apply for federal safety grants created after the Uvalde shooting.
The initiative aims to simplify the grant application process so more schools can access funding to improve safety.
The program was developed after the McConaugheys learned many districts had not applied for available grants.
McConaughey delivered an emotional plea for gun reform at the White House after the Uvalde tragedy.
The goal is to ensure federal funding is fully utilized by school districts before it can be reallocated in 2026.
