Opportunity Information: Apply for OVW 2017 11903
The OVW FY 2017 Grants to Enhance Culturally Specific Services for Victims of Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking Program Solicitation (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2017 11903) is a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). Its central purpose is to strengthen and expand culturally specific, community-based services for people who have experienced sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking. The emphasis is on culturally relevant, culturally responsive approaches that are rooted in the communities being served, recognizing that survivors from different cultural groups can face distinct barriers to safety, access, trust, language, and effective support.
This opportunity is designed to support community-based organizations that deliver services in ways that reflect the values, norms, languages, and lived experiences of specific populations. In practice, that typically means programs that are tailored for particular cultural communities and are led by organizations that have established credibility and connection within those communities. The solicitation frames the work around victim services and community capacity, aiming to ensure that survivors can access help that is not only available, but also appropriate and effective given cultural context.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments. By limiting eligibility in this way, the program targets organizations that are community-based and mission-driven, including culturally specific nonprofits and tribal organizations positioned to deliver direct services and related support activities.
The funding mechanism is a grant, and awards under this solicitation were capped at an award ceiling of $300,000. OVW anticipated making about 20 awards under this opportunity, indicating a competitive program with a limited number of grants available relative to national demand. The solicitation was created on January 5, 2017, with an original closing date of February 16, 2017.
The solicitation is categorized under funding activity areas that include Arts (as it relates to cultural affairs), Education, and Humanities (also in relation to cultural affairs), and it is associated with CFDA number 16.016. These classifications reflect the program focus on culturally specific strategies and community-centered services, even though the underlying goal remains violence prevention and victim support within the justice and victim services landscape.
Overall, this grant opportunity supports organizations working directly with survivors by enhancing access to culturally specific advocacy and services, improving how communities respond to violence, and ensuring that victim services are delivered in ways that survivors from diverse cultural backgrounds can realistically use and trust.Apply for OVW 2017 11903
