2023 Title II Juvenile Justice Formula Grants

The Montana Board of Crime Control (MBCC) is soliciting proposals for Title II Juvenile Justice programs to be funded by U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). The Title II Juvenile Justice Formula Grants program provides funding to support state and local efforts to plan, establish, operate, coordinate, and evaluate policies and projects, for the development of more effective education, training, research, prevention, diversion, treatment, and rehabilitation programs, as well as juvenile justice system improvement efforts. The application process is competitive. Previous funding does not guarantee an award during this funding cycle. Final funding amounts for the FY 23 Title II Formula Grants Program have not been confirmed by OJJDP. However, MBCC anticipates that approximately $500,000 will be available during the project period, depending on the availability of federal funds. Note: Because federal funds are not always available immediately following the award date, applicants should prepare for this contingency.

Applicants having questions or requiring clarification or interpretation of any section within this funding opportunity must address these issues via the email address listed above by the date listed above. Clear reference to the funding opportunity section and item in question must be included in the request. Questions received after the close date will not be considered. Program-specific questions cannot be addressed during the solicitation period. Written responses to all questions received by the deadline will be posted in the Opportunity Details section of this funding opportunity within seven calendar days. Applicants should consult the Question Submission response prior to posting a question to avoid duplication and prior to submitting an application to avoid missing potentially assistive material. Any other form of interpretation of this funding opportunity will not be binding upon MBCC.

Eligible applicants include units of local government, federally recognized tribal governments, private nonprofit agencies, and local educational agencies. Private nonprofit agencies must document their nonprofit status.
