ISLG is seeking Criminal Justice Investment Initiative (CJII) grantees who are interested in providing peer-to-peer Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) to join the CJII TTA Consortium. TTA Consortium members provide TTA to other CJII grantees on programmatic topics. Selected grantees will join the CJII TTA Consortium’s peer competition pool.

Current members of the CJII TTA Consortium should not apply to this solicitation (except in the instance that their corporate structure is changing—if so, please contact ISLG for next steps). Organizations that are not funded by CJII should apply to a separate Request for Proposals to join the Consortium, not this Application.

This initiative is part of a wider strategy to support grantees in enhancing their capacity, increasing collaboration, and positioning themselves for sustainability after CJII funding has ended.

Background

Established in 2014 by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, the Criminal Justice Investment Initiative is a $250 million initiative that has made significant community-based investments to keep people out of the criminal legal system and help make New York City safer. ISLG manages CJII grantees, provides technical assistance, conducts oversight, and measures Initiative performance. For a list of current members of the CJII TTA Consortium, see here.
