VICTIM IMPACT GRANT

Purpose: Victim Impact programs are victim-focused restorative justice programs provided by volunteers/community based organizations. These programs must employ restorative justice principles, have an emphasis on offender accountability, and provide opportunities for offenders to understand the impact of the harm caused by crime. This Request for Applications (RFA) provides the information necessary to prepare a proposal to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) for grant funds available in the Fiscal Years 2022/2023 through 2023/2024 for Victim Impact Grant Programs. The purpose of the Victim Impact Grants is to provide grant funds to eligible nonprofit organizations for delivery of victim impact programs at one or more California State Institutions. This project will provide $1 million in grants per year for two terms ($2 million total) to eligible nonprofit organizations to fund victim impact programs in one or more California State Institutions. The grant period begins on July 1, 2022 and ends on June 30, 2024. Eligible Applicants: Eligible nonprofit organizations are those offering victim impact programs in a correctional setting whose victim impact programs have demonstrated success and focus on offender responsibility and restorative justice principles. Organizations that do not have a nonprofit status may operate under the sponsorship of a fiscal agent with nonprofit status for purposes of grant eligibility. Eligible Geographies: If the applicant is a multistate organization with headquarters in another state, the applicant must have physical offices in California and currently provide services to California residents.
