About restorative justice grants
Restorative justice grants fund victim-offender dialogue, community accountability programs, diversion alternatives to incarceration, and school-based restorative practices. Federal support flows through the U.S. Department of Justice, including the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention for youth-focused work and the Bureau of Justice Assistance for adult and reentry programs, with availability varying by year. National and community foundations focused on justice reform and youth development are significant and often more flexible funders of restorative programs.

What grants are available for restorative justice?
Restorative justice grants support victim-offender mediation and dialogue, restorative diversion programs, community accountability boards, reentry circles, and restorative practices in schools. Federal funding is available through Department of Justice bureaus such as the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention for youth programs and the Bureau of Justice Assistance for adult justice work, alongside state appropriations. Private foundations supply meaningful additional support, frequently with fewer restrictions than federal awards.
Who funds restorative justice grants?
The U.S. Department of Justice is the principal federal funder, through the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and the Bureau of Justice Assistance, though specific solicitations and funding levels vary year to year. State and county governments fund restorative diversion and reentry programs directly, and national and regional foundations focused on criminal justice reform, youth development, and community safety are major private backers of restorative justice organizations.
Can community organizations and schools apply for restorative justice funding?
Yes. Eligible applicants commonly include nonprofit community organizations, school districts, units of local government, courts, and tribal entities, depending on the program. Many community-based restorative justice providers blend government contracts with private foundation grants to sustain their work. Competitive applications usually require a defined model, partnerships with courts, schools, or law enforcement, and a plan to track outcomes such as recidivism, victim satisfaction, or disciplinary reductions.
