Dallas County Juror Fund (Juror Fund)
The Juror Fund program began in FY 1991, and it allows jurors to donate their juror per diem back to Dallas County. Juror Fund monies are allocated through grant awards. These grant awards fund activities and projects that benefit youth involved with the DCJD but cannot be funded through available tax dollars.
Dallas County Juror Fund Grants
- The Youth Services Advisory Board administers the Juror Fund grants program for the Dallas County Juvenile Department. Funds can be accessed through an application process specific to whether the request is from: 1) a “community-based organization,” or 2) from DCJD staff.
- For Community-based organizations, NO applications will be accepted for FY2026.
- DCJD staff can access the online application here: https://ysab-application.onrender.com/application, and the video tutorial here: YSAB Application Walkthrough Tutorial.
- Please be aware that applying for juror funds does not guarantee the approval of your project or fund award.
