The funding from the Home Office has been given to the Northants Hate Crime Forum, and will be used to train volunteers and encourage increased reporting of crimes.
Home Office Minister Vernon Coaker said:
"Victims are firmly at the heart of the criminal justice system and we are committed to ensuring that they have the support that they need. In April this year we announced an increased investment to help provide victims of all crimes with immediate, practical support that is tailored to their individual need.
"However we recognise that the nature of some crimes means that there are victims who require additional specialist support. This injection of funding from the Victims Fund will help hate crime and homicide groups work in partnership with statutory agencies to meet the needs of these victims."
A total of £500,000 is being awarded to hate crime and homicide support groups across the country in this round of funding.
