Bill > SB0190

This bill establishes the Community Violence Intervention Fund (CVIF), a new state fund designed to provide grants to nonprofit organizations that run community violence intervention programs. The fund will be administered by the treasurer of state and will consist of state appropriations and potential additional public or private funding sources. Nonprofit organizations can apply for grants through the criminal justice institute, which will collaborate with the Indianapolis Foundation to review and approve applications. The bill appropriates $1 million from the state general fund for these grants, with the Indianapolis Foundation authorized to receive up to 10% of the grant amounts as administrative fees. Grant recipients must use the funds exclusively to support their community violence intervention programs. The fund and its grant program will become effective on July 1, 2025, and the appropriation will expire on July 1, 2027. Any money remaining in the fund at the end of a fiscal year will not revert to the state general fund, ensuring continued support for these violence prevention efforts.
