About grants for criminal justice

Criminal justice grants fund law enforcement, courts, prosecution and defense, corrections, reentry, victim services, and justice technology and research. The U.S. Department of Justice is the leading source through its Office of Justice Programs, the Bureau of Justice Assistance, and the COPS Office, including the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program. State administering agencies pass through much of this funding, and national foundations support justice reform and research.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grants are available for criminal justice?

Criminal justice grants support law enforcement equipment and personnel, prosecution and courts, indigent defense, corrections and reentry programs, drug and mental health diversion, victim and witness services, technology improvements, and research and evaluation. The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program is the leading source of federal justice funding to state and local jurisdictions, supplemented by COPS Office hiring grants and numerous specialized Office of Justice Programs solicitations.

What is the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG)?

The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program is a U.S. Department of Justice formula grant administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, and it is the leading source of federal criminal justice funding to states, tribes, and local governments. JAG dollars can support personnel, equipment, training, technical assistance, and information systems across law enforcement, prosecution and courts, corrections, prevention, drug treatment, and victim and witness initiatives. State allocations are driven by population and reported violent crime.

How do agencies and nonprofits apply for criminal justice grants?

Federal formula programs like JAG flow to a designated State Administering Agency, which runs its own sub-grant competition, so local agencies and nonprofits should start by contacting that agency to learn deadlines and priorities. Competitive Office of Justice Programs and COPS Office solicitations are posted on Grants.gov and the DOJ JustGrants system. Strong applications connect requests to data, an evidence-based strategy, and clear performance measures.
