Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2008 Membership Support Services for Nonprofit Missing Children s Organizations grant opportunity was a discretionary federal funding program offered by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) to strengthen a national or broad membership organization made up of nonprofit groups focused on missing and exploited children. The central purpose of the award was to provide resources to a single grantee so it could deliver support services to its member nonprofits and, through that network, expand and improve assistance to families experiencing a missing child crisis. In addition to direct family support, the opportunity emphasized services that help law enforcement and community agencies respond effectively to missing and exploited children cases, along with public awareness and education activities aimed at child protection and prevention.
This funding was issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the relationship between OJJDP and the recipient was expected to involve active federal involvement or collaboration beyond what is typical in a standard grant. The program fell under the broad funding activity categories of Community Development and Law, Justice and Legal Services, and it was associated with CFDA number 16.543 (Missing Children s Assistance). The legal authority cited for the program was the Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention Act of 2002, Public Law 107 273, Section 405, as amended (42 U.S.C. 5775), which is a core statutory basis for OJJDP discretionary grantmaking in this area.
Financially, the opportunity anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $225,000 and no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which meant eligible applicants were not required to contribute nonfederal funds as a condition of receiving the award. Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education, reflecting the program s intent to fund nonprofit membership-based organizations working directly in the missing and exploited children field rather than academic entities.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on May 9, 2008, with an application deadline of June 6, 2008, and it was later archived on July 6, 2008. The funding opportunity number was OJJDP 2008 1891. For applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement, the listed technical contact was Al Roddy, Technical Specialist, reachable by phone at 202 616 4506, with an email contact indicated in the notice.
