Criminal Justice Grants (CJG) uses a grant management system for the purposes of grant and subgrant administration. In April of 2022, CJG transitioned from the SIMON grant management system to the AmpliFund grant management system. This allowed CJG to improve its grant management processes and procedures, as well as satisfy Federal budget category requirements.

The AmpliFund grant management system can be accessed through the AmpliFund login portal. Information regarding system navigation and processes can be found in the trainings provided below. Additional information can be found through the AmpliFund Help and Support Desk.
