Get Strategic Support for Funding Opportunities

CJI curates and shares relevant funding opportunities to help partners and prospective collaborators access resources that strengthen justice systems. Many grants allow partnerships between government and nonprofit organizations to support a focused and comprehensive proposal. Some opportunities are limited to government applicants only. 

Federal grants often have fixed deadlines and are structured as multi-year projects. Private and foundation grants often have rolling deadlines and are frequently shorter-term, lasting 12 months or less. 

We’re here to help you understand eligibility, explore partnership options, and maximize your chances for successful funding.

How CJI works with partners

Partners bring us in at whichever stage they’re in. Some come for analysis, some for implementation support, some to measure what an earlier change produced.

• Assess challenges — Use system data and engage community stakeholders to identify root causes, cross-system drivers, and barriers to effective implementation.
• Apply evidence — Translate findings into policy and practical strategies jurisdictions can implement.
• Expand capacity — Work alongside the people doing the work, through training, technical assistance, and implementation support.
• Measure results — Track whether the change held, and what it produced.

Partners come to us working on:

• Diversion and behavioral health programs
• Recidivism reduction
• System efficiency
• Reentry and supervision practices
