Community Violence Intervention & Prevention - Capacity Building & Microgrant Management

Scope: The City of Toledo Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement (MONSE) announces a funding opportunity through its Bureau of Justice Assistance grant (No. 15PBJA-24-GG-06062-CVIP) to serve as an Umbrella Organization for Toledo's community violence intervention (CVI) ecosystem. This role will provide the administrative, fiscal, and coordination functions that small CVI organizations cannot carry alone so that frontline workers can focus on outreach, mediation, and relationship-building. The Umbrella Organization will administer 15 competitive microgrants of $5,000 each ($75,000 total) to community-led activities and pilots. Provide back-office capacity building to CVI efforts: grant compliance, financial reporting, data collection support, and connecting to training and capacity building. Improve closed-loop referrals between CVI programs and the Services and Supports network, starting with the 15 highest-priority referral destinations. Act as fiscal agent and pass-through administrator for micrograntees and, as needed, other subawards under the BJA grant. Participate in ecosystem governance via the CAT, VRC, and reporting to MONSE, BJA, and City Council.
