The 21st Judicial District VALE Program provides grant funding to agencies that provide services to crime victims within Mesa County. Grants are made using money collected from court fees and fines that people convicted of certain crimes are ordered to pay as part of their sentence, and from marijuana tax funds.
Agencies apply for funding through a competitive grant process. Grant awards and decisions regarding the use of the district's VALE funds are made by a five-member Board of Mesa County residents.
