Funding available for groups serving crime survivors in Washington State

Washington State has opened an application process for organizations to apply for funds through the Federal Victims Of Crime Act (VOCA). If you are an organization in Washington that has a proven record of serving marginalized populations and underserved communities, you may be eligible to apply through this RFP process. The maximum grant award is $500,000.

Through our VOCA Funding Toolkit EJUSA can help groups determine if they are eligible, answer questions about the process, and provide some support for your group’s application. Download the toolkit here.

Find all official application materials here.

Note: the deadline is fast approaching – November 17, 2017.

Our VOCA project works to bring racial equity to victim services by helping community groups serving crime survivors in communities of color to gain access to new resources. We provide training, technical assistance, and capacity building to these community groups so they know what federal VOCA funds are and how to get them.
