Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2010 Action Partnerships for Professional Membership and Professional Affiliation Organizations Responding to Children Exposed to and Victimized by Violence grant opportunity was issued by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). It was designed as a national-scope training and demonstration effort that uses cooperative agreements to build practical partnerships between OVC, the victim services field, and large professional or membership-based organizations. The central idea is to strengthen how these organizations and their members recognize, respond to, and support children who have been exposed to violence or directly victimized, while also reinforcing broader victims rights and service quality.
At its core, the program aims to develop or enhance the capacity of national membership, professional, and community service organizations so that their networks can play a more effective role in victim-centered responses. Rather than funding direct services alone, the opportunity emphasizes systems-level impact through training, public awareness, and educational activities that can be disseminated widely through existing professional infrastructures. By leveraging organizations that already have national reach (for example, through chapters, affiliates, credentialed members, or professional associations), OVC sought to multiply the effect of federal dollars by improving knowledge, practices, and coordination across many practitioners and communities at once.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal awarding agency during project implementation compared to a standard grant. In practice, that often means OVC expected active collaboration on project direction, deliverables, and coordination, with funded recipients working closely with OVC to ensure the training and demonstration components align with national victim assistance priorities, incorporate promising practices, and can be replicated or adapted across different settings.
This was a discretionary funding opportunity (not formula-based), categorized under income security and social services and law, justice, and legal services, and tied to CFDA 16.582 (Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants). OVC anticipated making up to 6 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $1,500,000. The maximum award amount (ceiling) was $250,000, with no stated minimum (award floor of $0). Cost sharing or matching was not required, which lowers a common barrier to entry for nonprofit applicants.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations, including both nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education under both categories as stated in the listing). The target applicants, based on the program design, were organizations positioned to influence professional practice at scale, such as national membership bodies, professional associations, and community service organizations with broad networks that can deliver training and educational outreach to their constituents.
Key dates and submission requirements were straightforward but strict. The opportunity was posted March 31, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 18, 2010. Applications were required to be submitted by 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 18, 2010. Registration in OJPs Grants Management System (GMS) was mandatory prior to submission, and the notice highlights a registration deadline change, underscoring that applicants needed to complete system registration steps early enough to avoid last-minute disqualification.
For support, the announcement provided a program contact within OVC: Jasmine DAddario Fobian, Victim Justice Program Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-305-3332, along with an indication that programmatic questions could be directed there. Overall, the opportunity reflects OVCs strategy of improving national capacity to respond to child victims and child witnesses of violence by partnering with organizations that can spread victim-centered training, awareness, and education across large professional communities.
