NCAI Fund Victim Services Micro-grant Program
NCAI Fund Victim Services Micro-grants are intended to fill gaps in current tribal victim services and/or to develop or expand the ability of tribal victim assistance programs to provide services. Funding can be used for a wide range of program activities and services to crime victims, including conducting a needs assessment or developing a strategic plan, purchasing equipment or supplies, or other support for new or existing victim services programs. Micro-grants will be made using federal funds provided by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office for Victims of Crime. Under the terms of the NCAI Fund’s agreement with DOJ, recipients of this funding will be required to comply with all applicable federal policies and regulations.
Funding Amount and Performance Period
We anticipate that most awards will be between $25,000-$250,000. In no case will a micro-grant award exceed $350,000. Awards must be completed between October 1, 2020 – June 30, 2022.
