Re: FY 2027 Victims’ Rights Program Award
To Whom It May Concern,
I am pleased to inform you that, pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes § 41-191.06 and § 41-191.08, the
Attorney General's Office has made an award of $339,400 from the Victims' Rights Fund to the Maricopa
County, through the Maricopa County Attorney's Office (MCAO) for the period, July 1, 2026 through June
30, 2027.
As you are aware, the purpose of the Victims' Rights Program (VRP) is to provide financial support to city,
county and state entities that are affected by Arizona Revised Statutes Title 13, Chapter 40, Crime Victims'
Rights and A.R.S. Title 8, Chapter 3, Article 7, Victims' Rights for Juvenile Offenses. In particular, VRP
monies are awarded to offset costs associated with performance of duties that are mandated under victims'
rights laws. I trust that this award to your agency will satisfy this purpose and that your efforts to include
victims as an integral part of the justice process will continue to be both successful and effective. Prior to
preparation of the Funding Agreement for your award, a Budget-Proposal form will be available to you for
your completion in our grants management system, IGX.
Thank you for the fine work you do every day on behalf of crime victims. Should you have any questions or
wish to discuss the budget for your award, please contact Kendall Maier, State Victims’ Rights Funding
Administrator, at (602) 542-8451, or by email at OVSVRP@azag.gov.
Sincerely,
Kris Mayes
Arizona Attorney General
