The Northglenn Victim Assistance Law Enforcement (VALE) Board has announced it is accepting grant applications for monies it will have available in the 2010 calendar year.
The application deadline is Monday, Aug. 17 at 5 p.m. All applications must be received or postmarked by the deadline date.
In 1990, City Council created VALE to enhance victim assistance, crime prevention and law enforcement programs in their efforts to assist victims and witnesses of criminal violations. As part of that purpose, the city also established a VALE account that receives its funding from a variety of citations issued by the Northglenn Police Department. These funds are made available to nonprofit organizations that assist victims of crime or provide crime prevention programs through a grant application process. Preference will be given to those organizations serving Northglenn residents.
If you are a nonprofit organization interested in applying for VALE grant funding, contact Tammy Sutton at 303-450-8703 to obtain an application or you can download the application by going to
www.northglenn.org/vale. All grant funding requests should be submitted using the long form grant application. The VALE Board will evaluate all grant application requests and make the final selections for grant approval.
