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 $ 280 , 000 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 OUP ' s Unit
Manager Kelly Kissell .
