Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2013 Multi State Mentoring Initiative (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2013 3515) is a discretionary grant program offered by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention under CFDA 16.726, the Juvenile Mentoring Program. The opportunity is designed to fund established mentoring organizations that are ready to grow their reach and strengthen the quality of their mentoring work. The overall purpose is twofold: first, to expand mentoring services to underserved youth who are considered at risk or high risk; and second, to improve existing mentoring services by adding more research-based and evidence-based mentoring practices. The solicitation notes that the program is expected to be supported through an FY 2013 Department of Justice appropriations act.
Funding is provided through a grant instrument, with an anticipated total of seven awards. Individual awards may be as large as $2,000,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide a formal match to receive funds. The program is categorized under Law, Justice, and Legal Services, reflecting OJJDPs role in supporting interventions that can reduce delinquency risks and improve youth outcomes through positive adult relationships.
Eligibility is limited and specifically geared toward organizations that already have a proven multi-state operational footprint. Eligible applicants may include nonprofit and for-profit organizations, including faith-based, community-based, and tribal organizations. However, any for-profit applicant must agree to forgo profit and management fees, a condition intended to ensure federal funds are used strictly for program purposes rather than corporate gain. Beyond organizational type, applicants must meet several structural and experience-based thresholds: they must have operated an established mentoring program for at least three years; they must have active chapters or subawardees in at least five states; and they must serve at risk, high risk, or underserved youth across all five of those states. The solicitation is clear that a loose coalition of separate organizations working together to cover five states does not qualify as a single multi-state mentoring organization under OJJDPs definition.
There are also restrictions meant to keep the program focused on mid-sized national networks rather than local affiliates or very large national entities. Applicants cannot be a chapter or subawardee of a national organization, where OJJDP defines a national organization as one with active chapters or subawardees in at least 45 states. In addition, funded programs must initiate mentoring services for youth who are 17 years old or younger, reinforcing the juvenile focus of the initiative.
The timeline for the opportunity reflects a standard federal solicitation window. The opportunity was posted and created on March 1, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 30, 2013, and an archive date of May 30, 2013. The solicitation also notes that OJJDP may choose to make awards in future fiscal years for applications submitted under this competition, depending on both application merit and the availability of appropriated funds, which is a common clause that allows the agency flexibility across budget cycles.
For support, applicants were directed to the Justice Information Center (JIC) for help with solicitation requirements and access issues, with assistance available by phone at 1-877-927-5657, by email at JIC@telesishq.com, or via live web chat during listed business hours, with extended hours on the close date.
