Victims of Crime Funding Call 2023

The open call for 2023 Victims of Crime Funding Call runs from 5 October 2022 to 26 October 2022. Funding has been made available to support the work of the organisations that help Victims of Crime.

The Department of Justice provides support for organisations that work in the Victims of Crime (“VOC”) area, including provision of support, information and advice on the rights of victims, court accompaniment and other accompaniment.

Funding may also be provided to:

• Minimise waiting times for the support needs of the victims of crimes and for the expansion of crime victim helplines.
• Fund increased demand of services following VOC and Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence (DSGBV) awareness raising campaigns.
• Allow frontline NGO services to develop expansion plans for additional counties, extend to other counties and allow for additional emergency services.
• Expand accompaniment service in the light of increasing numbers of victims.
• Ensure sufficiency of ongoing specialist support provision, support outreach work with victims of human trafficking and supporting those wishing to exit prostitution.
• Assist may also be provided for NGO frontline services recruitment campaigns for volunteers.

Applications will be invited from new and existing organisations working with Victims of Crime. Applications may be submitted by individual organisations, or by a consortium involving two or more organisations where the lead partner is a community organisation, not-for-profit, social enterprise.

Completed Application Forms must be returned to the below email address by 5pm on Wednesday 26 October 2022.
