Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2012 Membership Support Services for Nonprofit Missing Children s Organizations opportunity is a discretionary federal grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention designed to strengthen a national membership organization made up of nonprofit groups working on missing and exploited children issues. The purpose is to support an organization that can coordinate and bolster the work of its member nonprofits by helping them better serve families of missing and exploited children, improving access to practical resources for law enforcement and community agencies that respond to missing children cases, and expanding public awareness and education efforts focused on child protection. The program is intended to fund activities that create shared capacity across the field, such as disseminating best practices, providing training and technical assistance, improving collaboration among nonprofits and responders, and supporting outreach that helps prevent exploitation and improves responses when children go missing. This funding is authorized under the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2012.
The award is issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal government anticipates a more hands-on partnership than a standard grant, with OJJDP likely staying involved through collaboration, oversight, and coordination as the project is carried out. OJJDP expected to make a single award under this solicitation, with an award ceiling of $225,000 and no required cost sharing or matching funds. The CFDA listing is 16.543, Missing Childrens Assistance, and the activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Joint applications are allowed, but one organization must be designated as the primary applicant for official communication, award administration, and project management, while other participating organizations are identified as co-applicants. The emphasis on a membership organization indicates the funded entity should already represent or be structured to represent multiple nonprofit organizations in this space and should be positioned to provide coordination, support services, and field-wide resources that benefit both member organizations and the broader network of practitioners and agencies dealing with missing and exploited children.
Key dates for the opportunity include a posted date of February 1, 2012, with an application closing date of March 19, 2012, and an archive date of April 18, 2012. The funding opportunity number is OJJDP 2012 3181.
