Grants for County governments - Social Advocacy

The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) has opened applications for the 2024–2025 Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA) American Rescue Plan (ARP) Supplemental Funding Grant. This initiative provides essential financial support to organizations serving victims of domestic and family violence across Indiana. With funding ranging from $100,000 to $500,000, the program aims to strengthen emergency services, provide housing and advocacy, and enhance recovery support for victims and their dependents. The grant also specifically addresses the ongoing and long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on both survivors and the organizations that serve them. The FVPSA program serves as the nation’s cornerstone funding source for shelters and supportive services for victims of domestic and family violence. The ARP supplemental funds expand that mission to include the prevention of COVID-19 transmission, preparation for future public health challenges, and direct response to victims affected by the pandemic. ICJI emphasizes support for community-based, nonprofit organizations whose core mission involves operating shelters or providing advocacy, counseling, and self-help services for victims and their families. The funding seeks to ensure that these organizations can continue providing safe, stable, and accessible services despite the evolving challenges of public health and social crises. Under the “Prevent” category, eligible projects may include emergency housing through shelters or hotels, outreach to underserved populations, the purchase of PPE and health supplies, and technology for mobile advocacy. The “Prepare” category focuses on building organizational resilience, including conducting assessments and developing contingency plans to maintain operations during future surges. Meanwhile, the “Respond” category funds direct assistance such as counseling, advocacy, youth support services, civil legal aid, rental and utility assistance, and programs that promote victims’ economic empowerment, such as transportation, childcare, job training, and financial literacy initiatives. Approximately $350,000 in total funding is available for this grant cycle, covering a 12-month period from October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025. Eligible applicants include local public agencies and nonprofit private organizations—such as faith-based, community-based, tribal, and charitable organizations—with proven experience assisting victims of domestic or family violence. Applicants must demonstrate a strong record of delivering effective, survivor-centered services and must align their proposed activities with the grant’s prevention, preparation, or response focus areas. Through this FVPSA ARP supplemental grant, ICJI continues its commitment to protecting survivors, strengthening community-based response systems, and addressing the intersection of domestic violence and public health. By empowering organizations with the resources they need to adapt and sustain critical services, this program ensures that victims across Indiana can access safety, stability, and the opportunity to rebuild their lives free from violence.
