Colorado Judicial Department Opens Application Process for

Family Violence Justice Fund grants

Grants provide funding for nonprofit organizations providing civil legal services to low-income people experiencing family violence.

DENVER—The Colorado Judicial Department has opened the application period for fiscal year 2025-26 grants from the Family Violence Justice Fund. The grants provide funding to Colorado nonprofit organizations that help low-income people who are experiencing family violence. 

Successful grant recipients must have experience providing legal services, including legal representation, to eligible persons in areas such as protection orders, divorce, legal separation, child custody, child support, or other judicial actions where legal services are necessary to protect the client’s interests related to family violence. Grants are awarded to qualifying organizations based on a geographic, need-driven formula that considers the number of low-income individuals who may require services in each county or city across the State.

Funding available for the upcoming grant cycle is expected to be $2.1 million. In fiscal year 2024-25, twelve organizations received grants totaling $2.1 million.

Application links, rules, and other information about the grant program may be found at https://www.coloradojudicial.gov/financial-services/family-violence-justice-fund-grant-program. Applications must be received through the Office of the State Court Administrator’s grant management system, AmpliFund, by 5 p.m. on April 30th, 2025. Late or incomplete applications will not be considered.
