Department of Justice 2nd Chance Act Mentoring Grants

DOJ seeks applications under the FY 2010 Second Chance Act Mentoring Grants to Nonprofit Organizations. Funding Opportunity: BJA-2010-2482, CFDA Number: 16.812.

The Second Chance Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-199) helps ensure the transition individuals make from prison or jail to the community is safe and successful. Section 211 of the Act authorizes grants to nonprofit organizations and federally recognized Indian tribes that may be used for mentoring projects to promote such reintegration.

Each proposal must include the following program components:
• Mentoring offenders during incarceration, through transition back to the community, and post-release
• Transitional services to assist in the reintegration of offenders into the community
• Training on offender and victims issues
