Public Welfare Foundation Juvenile Justice Grants
On any given night an estimated 60, 000 youth – the overwhelming majority of whom are accused
of minor and non-violent offenses – are incarcerated in a correctional facility or out-of-home
placement. Despite research showing that incarceration leads to high juvenile recidivism rates, as
well as poor education, employment, and health outcomes for youth, systems often fail to use
alternatives to incarceration that have been shown to be more effective at rehabilitating young
people. Moreover, an estimated 250,000 youth are tried in the adult criminal justice system
annually, and nearly 10,000 youth are housed in adult jails or prisons on any given night. These
policies ignore the well-established differences between youth and adults, increase recidivism
rates, and expose youth in adult jails and prisons to high rates of sexual abuse and suicide. Youth of
color are disproportionately likely to suffer the harms of these failed policies and practices.
The Foundation’s Juvenile Justice Program supports groups working to end the criminalization and
overincarceration of youth in the United States. In particular, the Program makes grants to groups
that are working to:
1. Advance state policies that restrict the juvenile justice system’s use of incarceration and
expand the use of community-based programs for youth;
2. End the practice of trying, sentencing, and incarcerating youth in the adult criminal justice
system;
3. Promote the fair and equitable treatment of youth of color who come into contact with the
juvenile justice system.

The first installment will be provided to the awardee(s) at the start of the award period (June 1,
2015). Funding of the second installment is contingent on final approval by the ICA Research
Committee of both a six-month progress report and a final report that must be submitted by June
30, 2016. The number of awards granted will depend on the amount of funding available and the
caliber of the proposed projects. In order to be eligible for the award, the applicants must have a
sponsoring institution, be able to complete the proposed project within a year, and not hold other
research awards for the same project or a similar project. See the ICA website for complete
