Per ARS 26-106: The anti-human trafficking grant fund is established consisting of monies appropriated by the legislature. Monies in the fund are continuously appropriated. The Department of Public Safety shall administer the fund and distribute monies from the fund to city, town, and state law enforcement agencies to reduce human trafficking in this state. To be eligible for grant monies, an anti-human trafficking program shall do either of the following:

1. Work to reduce human trafficking by providing assistance and analytical services to law enforcement agencies.

2. Provide services to victims and training to law enforcement agencies, prosecutorial agencies and the public on preventing and identifying human trafficking. 

Agencies that previously reached the $500,000 funding cap for this grant may apply again; however, preference may be given to agencies that have not previously received an award.

Please note that non-profit organizations are sub-recipients of an agency and may not apply without an agency sponsor via a Memorandum of Understanding.

Applications will remain open until September 5, 2025.
