Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2010 Public Awareness and Outreach for Victims in Underserved Communities grant was a U.S. Department of Justice funding opportunity administered through the Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). Its central purpose was to expand public awareness and targeted outreach so that people in communities that are often overlooked or hard to reach would better understand crime victims' rights and be more connected to available victim services and resources. In practical terms, the program was aimed at closing information and access gaps by helping underserved victims learn what help exists, how to seek it, and what protections and rights they have within the justice system.
This was a discretionary funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement, meaning award recipients would generally be expected to coordinate and collaborate with OVC in carrying out the work rather than operating with complete independence. The activity area was tied to income security and social services as well as law, justice, and legal services, reflecting that victim assistance sits at the intersection of support services, public systems, and legal rights education.
OVC anticipated making around 10 awards under this solicitation, supported by an estimated total funding pool of $1,000,000. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) was $100,000, and there was no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which typically makes the opportunity more accessible to smaller organizations and community-based groups that may not have extra non-federal resources to contribute.
Eligibility was broad and included multiple levels of government and a wide range of nonprofit and educational institutions. Eligible applicants included city or township governments, county governments, and state governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments as well as other tribal organizations; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). This wide eligibility signaled an intent to encourage partnerships and locally grounded outreach strategies, including work led by or closely tied to the communities being served.
The opportunity was posted and created on March 31, 2010, and the application deadline was May 18, 2010, with applications due by 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time. A key administrative requirement was that applicants had to be registered in OJP's Grants Management System (GMS) before submitting an application, emphasizing that registration steps needed to be handled in advance to avoid last-minute submission issues. The listing later moved to archived status on June 17, 2010.
For programmatic questions, the contact listed in the announcement was Millicent Crawford, Victim Justice Program Specialist, reachable at (202) 353-8172. The funding opportunity number for reference was OVC 2010 2635, and it was associated with CFDA number 16.582 (Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants).
