About Criminal Justice Reform Grants for State Government

Criminal justice reform grants for state government agencies range from $575,000 to $1.6 million in typical award sizes, with 6,404 active opportunities currently available.

Cost-sharing requirements remain minimal at just 7 percent of grants, reducing financial barriers for state applicants. To narrow your search, filter by support type: research-focused grants differ significantly from capacity-building or direct program funding in scope and timeline expectations.
