Washington JAG Priority Area Funding
The Washington Department of Commerce is initiating this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit Proposals from those qualified and interested in grant funding to conduct projects in alignment with the federal Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) requirements and Washington’s JAG Priority Areas.
The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) is a primary source of federal funding to state and local jurisdictions supporting a range of criminal legal system improvement and community advancement programs. JAG funds are intended to assist states, tribes, and local jurisdictions in leveraging additional dollars from other funding sources to support and maximize statewide efforts.
During 2023, the Washington JAG Advisory Committee developed a Strategic Plan to guide the investment of JAG funds across the state. As part of the strategic plan, the following were identified as Washington’s Priority Areas of Focus:
- Planning, Evaluation and Technology Improvement
- Crime Victim Programming, Support and Advocacy
- Community Safety Enhancement and Law Enforcement Programs/Support
Approximately $2,000,000 of JAG funding will be awarded through this NOFO through multiple contracts to provide the services described in this NOFO.
