The office received $1,666,697 in 2013 Formula Grant Awards from the United States Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women.
The formula grants are funded through the federal Violence Against Women Act. The Office of the Nevada Attorney General (AGO) receives and administers the following programs annually:
