Grant Management System Update for CVS Grantees
The Division of Criminal Justice (DCJ) is in the process of transitioning from ZoomGrants to Fluxx, the Division's new grants management system (GMS). Grantee data will be migrated into the new Fluxx system over the next few months, during which time data in Fluxx may appear incomplete. Please disregard any automated messages received from Fluxx as a result of the data migration, as no action is required at this time. The Grants Team will reach out to grantees when action is required in Fluxx.
State VALE Grantees have already been transitioned to Fluxx and can disregard this message. Please email questions or concerns to cvsgrants@state.co.us.

Victim Services Coalition Funding Survey
The four leading victim service coalitions – Colorado Children’s Alliance, Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault, Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance, and Violence Free Colorado - are gathering data to share the needs of survivors and agencies serving survivors with our elected leaders, foundation funders, and more. This 10 to 20 minute survey will give them insight into how the funding crisis is directly impacting programs and survivors. This information will be turned into a report that will be distributed to programs as they advocate for additional funding streams.
Please complete one survey per agency/organization by November 14. If you have any questions about this survey, please contact Elizabeth at Elizabeth@CCASA.org or Courtney at courtney@coloradocrimevictims.org. Thank you for your continued collaboration and support!
