TOPEKA, Kan. (KSNW) — More than $32.5 million in state grants will go to Kansas nonprofits that help survivors of domestic and sexual violence, investigate child abuse, and advocate for abused and neglected children, Governor Laura Kelly announced Thursday.

The state general funds will support three main categories of programs: domestic violence and sexual assault services, Children’s Advocacy Centers, and Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA).

“I support this use of state funds to ensure survivors of crime receive the services they need from critical organizations,” Kelly said in a statement. “Crime is not just a safety issue – it’s a public health and a quality-of-life issue. We must do our part to build a safer and more resilient Kansas together.”
