This Message Is From an External Sender
This email was sent by someone outside Weld County Government. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize
the sender and know the content is safe.
I am pleased to inform you that in its final review of grant applications during the Funding Meeting,
the Crime Victim Services Advisory Board (CVSAB) recommended your project for funding up to the
amount of $57,282 in VOCA funds. This recommendation will become final only upon completion of
the grant agreement and receipt of required approvals and signatures at the Colorado Department of
Public Safety.
Over 230 applications were submitted for the CY26 funding opportunity, with requests totaling almost
double the available funding. When making funding decisions, the CVSAB considered the applicant's
eligibility, organizational capacity, prioritized expenses, and the project's alignment with the review
criteria and the Board's funding philosophy. Please see this video with a message from OVP's Unit
Manager Kelly Kissell.
IMPORTANT REQUIRED NEXT STEPS (Please save this email for future reference):
In order to move forward with creating your grant agreement, please review the following
information on required actions:
• We have attached your original application for reference to aid you in the creation of your new
Exhibit D: Statement of Work and Exhibit E: Budget, based on your award amount.
• Complete Exhibit E: Budget (attached)
o While the Board was not able to fully fund your request, you can use the recommended
funds (up to $57,282) to support the aspects of your program that your agency
prioritizes.
o You can only include expenses that were requested in your original application budget.
• Complete Exhibit D: Statement of Work (attached)
o Please copy the activities from your original application into the attached Exhibit D as
appropriate. Please edit the information based on what you will be including in your
new revised Budget Exhibit E. For example, do not include activities that will not
be supported by the grant funds awarded.
o Complete the services charts based on the awarded funds, as well. Prorate this
information based on what you were awarded, not what you applied for.
• Lastly, please review the Project Officials listed in ZoomGrants under the "Project Overview"
Tab and let us know if any updates need to be made to your Project Officials - this is

In addition to the Exhibits, there are other documents that are required for contracting. Please

• Sample Timesheet(s) for personnel
• If your agency has not already done so, please email your agency's most recent audit or
financial review and management letter to cdps dcj audits@state.co.us.
The attached Exhibits must be completed and emailed to me, and any additional
documents requested must be uploaded under the "Documents" tab in ZoomGrants by
5:00 pm on September 8, 2025. Failure to meet deadlines may result in a delayed project start
date.
If you are interested in receiving more detailed feedback on areas of your application that could be
improved in the future, please email me with open times in September or October. Please note that
because of the tight timeline our office is under to complete this back -and -forth process and create
grant agreements, these appointments may need to take place later this year. We appreciate your
patience.
As you will be working directly with me to complete this process, please email me any questions to
louise.esquibel@statesco.us.
Congratulations on your grant award!
