Integrated Crisis Response and Violence Reduction Grants Program in Kansas (USA)
GrantID: 75301
Grant Funding Amount Low: Open
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: Open
Summary
This grant opportunity is designed to help reduce violent crime, especially gun violence, and intervene in behavioral health crises in Kansas. It is meant to fund projects that address risk factors likely to lead to violence, support programs like mental health courts, drug courts, or veterans’ treatment courts, enhance law enforcement responses with behavioral health co‑response, and help victims of violence through wraparound services or community‑based supports.
Eligible applicants include state or local government units, Native American tribes, nonprofit, community, and faith‑based organizations—including those serving underserved or culturally specific populations. Courts (including specialty or treatment courts) are especially included if they are creating, expanding, or enhancing justice or behavioral health court proceedings.
The total grant funding in recent rounds has been over $1.6 million to $2.6 million (across multiple awarded projects). Individual awards can vary widely depending on scope, geographic reach, project size, and alignment with priorities. Projects are generally funded for a defined period (often one year).
Funds may be used for items such as: establishing or expanding specialized court programs, purchasing or deploying mobile technology for crisis response, training personnel (law enforcement or behavioral health), creating or improving protocols for crisis intervention, developing community violence prevention initiatives, and evaluation to measure project effectiveness. What the funds are not intended for are general, ongoing operating deficits unrelated to crisis intervention, or unrelated capital ventures.
The application process follows a state‑administered solicitation cycle, with specified deadlines. Proposals are reviewed by an advisory board made up of representatives from law enforcement, courts, behavioral health, victim services, prosecutors, and the community. Priority is given to projects that are feasible, well planned, aligned with state priorities, show measurable impact, and include collaboration or demonstrated community support.
This opportunity is ideal for nonprofits, governmental agencies, courts, or faith‑based groups in Kansas seeking support for programs that intervene in violence or crises, improve justice or court systems, or build community resilience.
Eligible applicants in Kansas with a demonstrated commitment to Mental Health are encouraged to consider this funding opportunity. To identify additional grants aligned with your needs, visit The Grant Portal and utilize the Search Grant tool for tailored results.
