Opportunity Summary:
The Family Violence Prevention and Services Discretionary Grant Program opportunity for the National Domestic Violence Hotline is a federal cooperative agreement run by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). Its central goal is to operate a highly visible, nationwide hotline that people affected by domestic violence can reach in a crisis for immediate support. The hotline is intended to deliver core services such as confidential information, safety-focused counseling, crisis assistance, and referrals that connect callers to protections and resources in their own communities. The program is designed to serve not only victims, but also their children and other family members, as well as others impacted by domestic violence who may be seeking guidance or help.
A key requirement of the award is around-the-clock coverage. The selected organization must provide telephonic assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, across the United States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Because the hotline is expected to handle a wide range of call types and urgent situations, the applicant must demonstrate strong subject-matter expertise in domestic violence dynamics and practical experience delivering victim-centered services. Just as important, the hotline staff must understand how to work effectively with state and local systems so callers can be connected quickly to nearby shelters, advocacy programs, legal resources, counseling, and other supportive services.
The announcement emphasizes that the hotline is not meant to operate in isolation. The overall value of a national hotline depends heavily on strong, coordinated working relationships with state and local hotlines and with other service providers and resource networks. Applicants are expected to show that they can build and maintain these linkages so the hotline can make accurate, timely referrals and support a coordinated response across jurisdictions. In other words, the hotline serves as a national access point, but the outcomes for callers depend on how well the hotline integrates with on-the-ground resources.
This opportunity was posted June 3, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 19, 2010. Applications submitted through Grants.gov were required to be submitted by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The total estimated funding was $3,200,000, and the award structure indicates a single expected award with a fixed award floor and ceiling of $3,200,000, meaning the program anticipated funding one national operator at that amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed for applicants.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status, in both cases other than institutions of higher education) as well as private institutions of higher education. Faith-based and community organizations that meet the eligibility requirements are also eligible. Individuals and foreign entities are explicitly not eligible to apply. The funding opportunity is identified as discretionary, uses a cooperative agreement instrument (which typically involves substantial federal involvement in project oversight and collaboration compared with a standard grant), and falls under the funding activity category of Income Security and Social Services. The program is associated with CFDA number 93.592, Family Violence Prevention and Services/Discretionary.
