About this opportunity

The U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) is seeking organizations to serve as financial intermediaries and provide support to community-based reentry programs through an incubator model. The goal is to increase the capability and capacity of these subawardee organizations, with a focus on reducing recidivism and improving outcomes for individuals transitioning from incarceration. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofits and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits. Key requirements include demonstrating experience in managing funding for community-based programs and the ability to provide a range of support services such as training, technical assistance, and access to subject matter experts. The application is due on March 4, 2025.

Recent grants under the Second Chance Act Reentry Initiative have typically ranged from $500,000 to $1.5 million over 2-4 year periods. The places of performance can include correctional facilities, community-based organizations, and service areas across the United States where formerly incarcerated individuals are returning.
