Manhattan District Attorney's Office

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office is providing these grants through its Criminal Justice Investment Initiative ("CJII"), which District Attorney Vance created using criminal forfeiture funds obtained through the Office's settlements with international banks for violating U.S. sanctions. These awards follow an open-solicitation, Request for Proposals and review process led by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office and facilitated by the CUNY Institute for State and Local Governance (ISLG), CJII's technical assistance provider.
