About Prison Reform grants

Prison reform grants support initiatives aimed at improving correctional systems, reducing recidivism, and supporting reentry programs. With 24 active grants listed in this category, funding agencies like the Bureau of Justice Assistance and National Institute of Corrections prioritize projects that strengthen justice system outcomes and address systemic challenges.

Most awards support programs, capacity building, and planning efforts targeted at formerly incarcerated individuals, justice-involved youth, and survivors of sexual assault. City, county, and state governments are primary recipients. Since these grants typically don't require cost-sharing, filtering by government entity type and support category helps identify the most relevant opportunities for your organization.
