Criminal Justice Grants

FY25-26 Identity Theft and Fraud (IDTF)

Accepting applications until all funding is allocated. 

Overview

The Identity Theft and Fraud (IDTF) grant program was created to provide support to local law enforcement agencies for the investigation of personal identification information theft and fraud. Funding for this program is supported through the payment of criminal fines for qualifying convictions relating to identity theft, as provided in 817.568(12)(a), Florida Statutes.

The issuance of awards under this program is contingent upon appropriation of funding by the Legislature. In the event the appropriation is discontinued upon execution of the General Appropriations Act, this solicitation, and all applications received, will be rescinded.

Eligibility

This program is open to local law enforcement agencies in the State of Florida.

Project Period

Grants are awarded for a 9-month period, beginning October 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2026.

Awards

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) anticipates issuing approximately 15 awards, not to exceed $10,000 each.

How to Apply

Funding will be awarded to successful applicants on a first come, first served basis, based on the date a full and complete application was submitted in AmpliFund. If an application is re-opened for edits or corrections, it must be revised and resubmitted for continued consideration of funding. FDLE will continue issuing awards until all available funding is allocated.
