This bill establishes a federal grant program through the Attorney General to fund community-based organizations working to prevent and address hate crimes. The legislation authorizes $30 million per year from 2027 through 2031 for eligible nonprofit organizations that are embedded in or led by communities targeted by hate crimes. Grant funds can support various initiatives including conflict resolution programs, diversion programs for juvenile offenders, victim support services, community education campaigns about hate crimes, safety ambassador programs, and de-escalation training. The bill defines eligible community-based organizations as nonprofits with demonstrated effectiveness that serve communities affected by hate crimes and provide educational, public health, and social services. Additionally, the legislation removes a grant amount limit from an existing federal program that supports criminal investigations and prosecutions.
