Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2012 Tribal Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Program was a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). Its central purpose was to strengthen and expand the work of tribal domestic violence and sexual assault coalitions by supporting efforts that build Indian womens leadership, increase community capacity, and push for systemic change to improve the safety of women within Indian tribal communities. In practical terms, the program focused on helping coalitions organize, coordinate, and elevate the response to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking in ways that fit tribal realities and priorities.
A key theme of the opportunity was capacity-building at both the coalition and community levels. Funding was intended to help tribal coalition organizations provide technical assistance, deepen the effectiveness and reach of their coalition infrastructure, and promote consistent, culturally appropriate standards and practices. This included work aimed at strengthening tribal governments, tribal nonprofit organizations, tribal organizations, and victim service providers by improving their understanding of these forms of violence and helping them implement better policies and coordinated approaches. The overall emphasis was not simply on direct services, but on advocacy, systems improvement, and sustainable change that can reshape how communities prevent violence and support survivors.
The opportunity was issued under Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2012 3143 and was associated with CFDA 16.557 (Tribal Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Grant Program). OVW anticipated making about 19 awards with an estimated total funding level of $5,100,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between an award floor of $156,000 and an award ceiling of $314,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The funding instrument was a grant, and the activity areas were aligned with education/humanities (with reference to cultural affairs) and law, justice, and legal services, reflecting the programs combined focus on community education, coalition development, and justice-related systems change.
The announcement was posted on April 17, 2012, with an original closing date of May 22, 2012, later extended to a current closing date of May 29, 2012. The opportunity was archived on June 21, 2012. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Kathy Howkumi at 202-616-6726.
