Wisconsin VOCA Victim Assistance Grant Program (WI VOCA Grants)
The Wisconsin DOJ Office of Crime Victim Services administers federal Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) victim assistance grants to public and nonprofit agencies that provide direct services to crime victims statewide. Funded services respond to the emotional, psychological, or physical needs of victims, help victims stabilize their lives, help them understand and take part in the criminal justice system, and help restore safety and security.
Who it is for
Nonprofit and public victim service organizations seeking VOCA funding to serve crime victims in Wisconsin. Survivors do not apply for the grants directly; they benefit through the funded local programs and can be connected to one through a local victim/witness office or the Office of Crime Victim Services at 800-446-6564.
