Opportunity Summary:
The Family Violence Prevention and Services grant opportunity titled "Expanding Leadership Opportunities within the Domestic Violence Field for Members of Underrepresented Groups" is a discretionary funding program run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF). Its core purpose is to strengthen leadership in the domestic violence field by intentionally developing and supporting leaders from underrepresented groups, especially in a set of pre selected states and, where relevant, federally recognized Tribes located within those states' borders. Rather than funding direct victim services, the emphasis is on building long-term field capacity through structured training, mentorship, peer networks, and organizational change work that improves cultural competency and creates clearer pathways into leadership roles.
The award is designed to fund one major project carried out by a collaboration of technical assistance providers. The expectation is that the lead applicant will form a partnership with at least three additional organizations, creating a multi-organization team that reflects the demographics and community realities of the targeted states. Through that collaboration, the grantee is expected to design and operate a leadership academy focused on skill development for participants from underrepresented groups. Activities are expected to include training and coaching, mentoring relationships, peer-to-peer support structures, and other professional development approaches that prepare participants to step into leadership positions within domestic violence agencies, coalitions, and related systems.
A key part of the program is that it does not stop at training individuals; it also targets the environments those emerging leaders will work in. The funded collaboration must work with domestic violence organizations and, where applicable, Tribal entities in the selected states to improve cultural competency and to strengthen internal practices that support diverse leadership. In practice, this can include helping organizations examine hiring and promotion pathways, leadership development practices, retention supports, and barriers that may prevent underrepresented staff from advancing. The intent is to produce both individual-level growth (more prepared leaders) and organizational-level change (more supportive, culturally responsive workplaces that can elevate those leaders).
By the end of the grant period, ACF expects several concrete deliverables and outcomes. The grantee should be able to show increased leadership opportunities for members of underrepresented groups in the targeted states and Tribes, backed by clear training and mentorship outputs and measurable progress. The collaboration must also produce a leadership academy model that is not a one-off effort, but something that can be expanded or replicated in other locations. In addition, the project must include an evaluation component to assess outcomes and effectiveness, and it must build mechanisms to share lessons learned and materials nationally so the broader domestic violence field can benefit.
In terms of funding details, the program anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. The award ceiling was $500,000 and the award floor was $250,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period compared to a standard grant, often through ongoing collaboration, guidance, or shared decision-making on key elements.
Eligibility was broad but focused on organizational applicants. Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status), public and private institutions of higher education, Tribal organizations, culturally specific institutes, state domestic violence coalitions, Tribal coalitions, faith-based organizations, and other qualifying entities described in the announcement. The application had to be submitted by one primary organization working in collaboration with at least three other organizations, with the partnership composition expected to reflect the demographics of the selected states. Individuals and foreign entities were explicitly not eligible.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted June 15, 2010, with an application deadline of July 30, 2010. For applications submitted through Grants.gov, submissions were required by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on August 29, 2010. For applicants unable to access the announcement, ACF provided support through its Applications Help Desk (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov).
