GrantMississippi Victims of Human Trafficking and Commercial Sexual Exploitation Fund — 2026 Round 5
Atlas Opportunity Score84/100
FundingApproximately $1,000,000 anticipated for the 2026 Round 5 application period. The controlling solicitation does not publish a per-applicant minimum or maximum. Funding for non-shelter providers is fee-for-service reimbursement. Indirect administrative costs are limited to 15% of the award.
DeadlineOctober 1, 2026 at 5:00 PM — MATERIAL OFFICIAL-SOURCE TIME-ZONE CONFLICT: the Attorney General's current Human Trafficking Fund webpage states 5:00 PM CT, while the controlling Round 5 solicitation states 5:00 PM CST. Because Mississippi is observing daylight saving time on October 1, CT and literal CST are not equivalent; do not infer the intended zone.
Required next actionObtain authoritative Mississippi Attorney General clarification whether the October 1, 2026 5:00 PM deadline is Central Daylight Time/current local Central Time or literal CST before any ORIGINAL outreach. Then identify a specific eligible Mississippi-serving 501(c)(3) direct victim service provider registered with the Mississippi Secretary of State; verify shelter/non-shelter provider requirements, a qualifying Round 5 priority, required local funds equal to at least 15% of the requested award (cash and/or qualifying in-kind), 12-month project budget, indirect-cost cap, reimbursement/cash-flow practicality, all required attachments and partner MOUs/certifications, verified business Contact/email, Email_Opt_Out, permanent hard-bounce status, CRM/Deal/Atlas_Email_Queue/authoritative send-history deduplication, and current amendments before ORIGINAL outreach or package work.
