The Colorado Judicial Department has announced the opening of the application period for fiscal year 2025-26 grants, sourced from the Family Violence Justice Fund. These grants are extended to Colorado nonprofit organizations aiding low-income individuals affected by family violence.
Eligibility for the grant requires nonprofits to have experience offering legal services, including legal representation in cases involving protection orders, divorce, legal separation, child custody, child support, or other necessary judicial actions related to family violence. The grants are distributed to qualifying organizations using a geographic and need-driven formula, which evaluates the number of low-income residents potentially requiring services in each county or city within the state.
The funding available for the new grant cycle is estimated to be $2.1 million, mirroring the amount distributed to twelve organizations in the fiscal year 2024-25.
Applicants can find the necessary links, rules, and detailed information about the grant program at the provided website. All applications must be submitted via the Office of the State Court Administrator’s grant management system, AmpliFund, by the deadline of 5 p.m. on April 30, 2025. Applications submitted late or those that are incomplete will not be accepted.
