\"Pic\"<\/p>\n

After more than 20 years of support, victims’\u00a0rights in Kane County are struggling to find a leg to stand on. That\u2019s because the local state attorney\u2019s office was denied a grant request to fund three full-time advocates that would have provided services for victims of violent crimes.<\/a><\/p>\n

But, even though the most recent grant request for $104,368 was\u00a0denied, the Kane County State Attorney<\/a> Joseph McMahon will not have to put public safety on the back burner. Several local agencies have stepped up to provide human resources and the power to keep the Victims’ Rights Unit functioning until the attorney\u2019s office can get the Illinois Justice Information Authority to reevaluate their grant proposal.<\/p>\n

The state attorney\u2019s office had always counted on a grant from ICJIA, which divvies up funds under the federal Victims of Crime Act administered through the U.S. Department of Justice. Over the course of two decades, the victim\u2019s crime unit and its members had been recognized by state lawmakers for their service.<\/p>\n

Until the grant funding is squared away, McMahon has assigned some responsibilities of the unit to prosecutors and support staff as well as advocates from police departments and other divisions in the county, such as the Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists, the Community Crisis Center and Mutual Ground, a domestic violence shelter.<\/p>\n

County governments in Illinois rely on different methods to fund their services for victims of violent crimes,<\/a> domestic abuse and child neglect, and other programs. Some divisions apply for grants. Others draw money from the county’s general fund. McMahon said his office was notified in December that the grant application for fiscal year 2018 had been rejected and, as a result, the matching contribution of $59,982 from Kane County as well.<\/p>\n

Rejected grant proposals are more common than they are rare. Libby Hikind, founder and CEO of GrantWatch.com<\/a>, said that many organizations, in their haste to secure funding, fail to follow instructions outlined in the request for proposals. Most\u00a0funding sources provide specific instructions for presenting and submitting proposals. Grant applications that do not adhere to guidelines are typically the first to fall by the wayside. They are not even read – they are placed in the virtual trash bin.<\/p>\n

“Another grave error in judgment (which may\u00a0not specifically apply here) is when agencies become complacent and\u00a0rely solely on one avenue of\u00a0funding,” said Hikind. “This places the agency staff and their constituents in constant and immediate jeopardy.\u00a0Things change and an agency\u00a0should never allow themselves to feel comfortable. Applications for grants that will provide funds for programs that assist victims of crime and abuse can be identified on GrantWatch<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Because an explanation is rarely communicated, the first step after a request has been denied should be to get on the phone and follow-up with an email to ask why. That\u2019s why establishing a relationship \u2013 either over the phone or in a site visit — during the application process is a critical to securing funds at present or in the future.<\/p>\n

McMahon said his office has already filed an appeal and is in the process of writing letters to each state lawmaker representing Kane County for assistance in identifying any new funds that could be targeted for the victims’ unit. In the meantime, Kane County, the fifth largest in Illinois and home to 15 homicides last year, faces the reality of providing state-mandated services without grant funding.<\/p>\n

Nonprofits, small businesses,\u00a0entrepreneurs and concerned citizens frustrated by the often-overwhelming process involved with searching for grants that provide social services including support for victims of violent crimes and domestic abuse can identify funding opportunities that are easy to read and simple to comprehend at GrantWatch.com<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>Sign-up<\/em><\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0receive the weekly GrantWatch\u00a0newsletter which features\u00a0geographic-specific funding opportunities.<\/em><\/p>\n
