Additional Eligibility Criteria
Those eligible to receive grant funds from ODCP include state and local units of government, Indian tribes, faith-based organizations, and nonprofit entities. A local unit of government is defined as a city, county, town, township, or other general-purpose political subdivision of a state and includes Indian tribes that perform law enforcement functions as determined by the Secretary of the Interior. A city or county must be the legal applicant and recipient on behalf of city and county departments.

Iowa faith-based and nonprofit organizations are eligible to receive grant funding, but applications must be made in partnership with a state or local unit of government. For purposes of the application, Iowa school districts, public universities, and community colleges are considered eligible applicants.

For information about ineligible expenses see: https://www.iowagrants.gov/fileDownloadExternal.do?filename=1692210184542_JAG+Criminal+Justice+Enhancements+Application+Instructions.pdf#page=5.

Due to federal restrictions and/or limited amounts of funding, as a general rule, ODCP does not fund projects for which a dedicated funding source is available, replace equipment/supplies which are normally part of a planned/scheduled replacement inventory, or provide continuation or stopgap funding for projects initiated with other grant funding. Grant funding does not support DARE personnel, canines, weapons, tasers, basic law enforcement equipment, construction, and vehicles.
