Non-profits can seek grants from DA’s office

Non-profit organizations in Suffolk County can apply for grants of up to $10,000 through District Attorney Kevin Hayden’s Community Reinvestment Grant (CRG) program.

Last year, Hayden’s Community Reinvestment Program delivered the largest amount of funding to community partners in Suffolk County CRG history, with grants ranging from $4,000 to $7,500 totaling $260,000 to 45 nonprofit organizations.

Grants up to $10,000 will be directed to nonprofits that provide programming designed to prevent youth violence, substance use disorder, or substance use treatment in Boston, Chelsea, Revere, and Winthrop.  State law allows prosecutors to distribute up to 10 percent of assets seized in narcotics prosecutions to community-based organizations for crime prevention and substance use treatment.

The deadline for submissions is April 25 and grant recipients will be announced on May 20. More information on the CRG program can be found at suffolkdistrictattorney.com.
