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 mini-grants program in collaboration with the Dallas County Juvenile Department.
- No applications for community-based organizations have been accepted for FY2027.
- Please contact Dr. Daniel Pacheco at daniel.pacheco@dallascounty.org for information regarding current (FY2026) funding and requirements, FY2027 pending applications, and FY2028 tentative important dates.
