Description
This opportunity, administered by the Kansas Governor’s Grants Program (KGGP), provides funding to organizations delivering direct services to crime victims in Kansas. The grant aims to address the emotional and physical needs of victims, help them stabilize after victimization, assist with navigating the criminal justice system, and enhance their safety. Special emphasis is placed on supporting victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse, and those previously underserved by existing services (e.g., DUI, robbery, gang violence, human trafficking, stalking).
Applicants are encouraged to demonstrate a victim-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive approach, particularly for underserved populations. Funding is intended to foster collaboration across sectors, improve accessibility, and develop evidence-based, equitable services for all crime victims.
