This page explains what to include now and what can be sent later, so you can move forward with confidence. You can apply if you are a victim of a crime or a claimant applying on behalf of a victim. If the victim is a child or has passed away, a parent, legal guardian, spouse, or another authorized person may apply.
Before starting, please review Find Out if You Qualify and What Costs Can Be Covered. Before You Start Your Application Before you start your application, it helps to gather the information you already have. The most helpful applications tell us what happened, who reported the crime, include current contact information, and list any insurance or other resources that may help with costs.
You do not need every document to begin. Even if you do not have bills yet, you can still apply now. The CVC Portal is the fastest way to apply.
Through the portal, you can submit your application online, upload billing documents, and check status updates. Note Each crime must have its own application. If you experienced more than one crime, you will need to submit a separate application for each crime date and report .
If you would like instructions on how to use the portal, you can visit the CVC Portal Guide . If you cannot apply online, you may download a paper application here: English PDF | Español PDF or request one by calling (800) 983-9933. Step 2.
Tell Us About the Crime We ask for information about the crime so we can request the official police report. The report confirms the crime, shows that it was reported to law enforcement, and provides the details we need to review your application. Without it, we cannot determine eligibility or process any payments.
To request the report, we rely on the information you provide, which is the law enforcement agency name and the offense report number. You can apply without the offense report number, but this may delay your application if it takes longer to locate the correct report.
If you do not know the offense report number, you can try: Calling the law enforcement agency that took the report Checking any paperwork or cards the responding officer gave you Getting help from a victim advocate Also, please write the full name of the law enforcement agency. Do not use abbreviations. For example, “SAPD” could refer to San Angelo Police Department or San Antonio Police Department.
Providing the exact agency name and case number helps us request the report as quickly as possible. Step 3. Help Us Understand Your Needs During the application, we will ask what types of costs you need help with.
Examples include medical care, counseling, lost wages, funeral expenses, and rent or relocation related to safety needs. Be as specific as you can because details help us review your claim faster. If something does not apply, write N/A or select No .
Leaving items blank can delay your application while we contact you for follow-up information. Step 4. Submit Any Documents You Have If you have bills, invoices, letters, or insurance information, upload them in the portal.
If you do not have a needed document yet, you can submit them later using the portal or the CVC Documentation Upload webform.

For eligible Massachusetts organizations, the 2027 cycle opens July 15 with a September 16 letter-of-inquiry deadline. Here is who qualifies, why the shift to operating support changes the calculus, and how a small nonprofit should approach a program that hands out 150 grants a year, most of them chosen by community volunteers.
