Opportunity Summary:
The Family Violence Prevention and Services/Expanding Services for Children and Youth grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2010 ACF ACYF EV 0084) was a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under CFDA 93.592 (Family Violence Prevention and Services/Discretionary). The central purpose of the program was to strengthen how communities respond to children and youth who have been exposed to domestic violence, with a specific emphasis on expanding and improving local services across an entire State or across a Tribe. In practice, this funding was designed to support organizations that could operate at a broad systems level, not just at a single shelter or single community site, and then translate that statewide or tribal reach into better, more consistent help for young people affected by domestic violence.
ACF planned to make three awards total, with an estimated total funding amount of $450,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $140,000 and $150,000, meaning funding levels were relatively tightly banded and the award ceiling was $150,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which lowered the barrier for eligible nonprofits that might not have access to significant non-federal cash or in-kind match resources. Because the instrument type was a cooperative agreement, awardees could generally expect a closer working relationship with the federal agency than under a standard grant, often including more active federal involvement in shaping deliverables, coordinating learning across sites, or aligning products with federal training and research goals.
Eligibility was focused on organizations with proven domestic violence expertise and the capacity to run a project at statewide or tribal scale. Specifically eligible applicants included FVPSA-funded State Domestic Violence Coalitions, Tribal Domestic Violence Coalitions with the capacity to conduct a project across the Tribe, and other nonprofit entities with demonstrated expertise in domestic violence programs and demonstrated ability to carry out a project across a targeted State or Tribe. Private institutions of higher education and nonprofits (both with and without 501(c)(3) status) were listed among eligible applicant types, but the narrative eligibility language made clear that the applicant needed substantial domestic violence program expertise and the operational reach to implement and coordinate a large-scale initiative. For organizations that were not FVPSA-funded State Domestic Violence Coalitions, the announcement required strong evidence of capacity, including documentation of prior statewide or tribal work, a documented track record of providing effective technical assistance, documented support from domestic violence service providers within the State or Tribe, and other proof that the organization could successfully manage a project spanning the full geography and service network. Faith-based and community organizations could apply as long as they met all eligibility requirements. Individuals and foreign entities were explicitly ineligible.
The funded project work was aimed at expanding and enhancing responses and services for children exposed to domestic violence, not only by adding or improving direct services but also by improving the larger system that surrounds a child or youth. By the end of the grant period, each grantee was expected to contribute to the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) research and training goals in several practical ways: improving statewide or tribal responses to children and youth exposed to domestic violence, creating new services or strengthening existing services for those children and youth, and helping to develop peer-to-peer technical assistance and a national dissemination plan. In other words, the awardees were not just expected to run programs locally; they were expected to help generate tools, approaches, and lessons that could be shared across jurisdictions, strengthening the broader field. The announcement also noted that grantees could pursue additional systems advocacy and community outreach goals, signaling that collaboration with partner systems (for example, domestic violence programs, child-serving agencies, or other community stakeholders) and public-facing outreach were viewed as valuable parts of the overall approach.
Key dates show this was a time-limited competition posted on June 15, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 30, 2010, and an archive date of August 29, 2010. For electronic submissions through Grants.gov, applications had to be submitted no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Applicants seeking the full announcement were directed to the ACF grants site, and technical assistance for accessing the announcement was available through the ACF Applications Help Desk (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov).
