Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2014 Comprehensive Anti-Gang Strategies and Programs opportunity is a discretionary federal grant program run by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) to help communities reduce youth gang activity and its damaging effects on young people, families, and neighborhoods. The funding is designed to support places that are adopting or strengthening OJJDPs Comprehensive Gang Model, which is a coordinated, multi-strategy, multidisciplinary framework that brings together prevention, intervention, and enforcement efforts rather than relying on any single tactic. The core idea is to align local partners and resources so they can act in a unified way to prevent youth from joining gangs, address risk factors for those already involved or at high risk, and respond to serious and violent gang activity with targeted enforcement.
The solicitation emphasizes building and improving coordination across federal, state, and local resources in support of community partnerships. Funded projects are expected to implement a balanced set of anti-gang approaches that span four major categories: primary prevention (broad efforts aimed at stopping gang involvement before it starts), secondary prevention (services and supports for youth who show elevated risk factors), gang intervention (strategies to disengage youth already involved in gangs and reduce ongoing harm), and targeted gang enforcement (focused law enforcement actions aimed at the most serious offenders and the most harmful gang-related activities). By explicitly funding work across this continuum, OJJDP is signaling that meaningful reductions in gang activity typically require a combination of youth-focused supports, family and community engagement, school involvement, and carefully directed justice system strategies.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP-2014-3942) uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which generally indicates that OJJDP expects to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as ongoing coordination, monitoring, and collaboration around implementation and performance expectations. The activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the CFDA listing tied to the program is 16.544 (Youth Gang Prevention). The program was authorized under paragraph (3)(B) within the Juvenile Justice section of the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2014 (Public Law 113-76, 128 Stat. 5, 64), establishing the legal basis for the funding.
In terms of funding scale and competitiveness, OJJDP anticipated making 3 awards under this solicitation. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is $200,000, and there is no stated minimum award (floor of $0). Importantly, there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for communities and organizations that may not have access to significant nonfederal match funds. The key dates show the solicitation was posted May 29, 2014, with an application deadline of July 14, 2014, and an archive date of August 13, 2014.
Eligibility is limited to public and nonprofit entities that can credibly lead a community-based anti-gang strategy. Eligible applicants include states and territories, units of local government (such as county governments and city or township governments), federally recognized tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations, including tribal nonprofit organizations. Nonprofits must generally fit within the eligible nonprofit category, including 501(c)(3) organizations (other than institutions of higher education, as indicated in the eligibility listing). While OJJDP welcomes collaborative applications that include two or more entities, one eligible entity must serve as the formal applicant and take primary responsibility for leading and carrying out the program, with partners positioned as subrecipients as appropriate. This structure is meant to encourage true multi-agency collaboration while ensuring clear accountability for performance, reporting, and implementation.
A notable requirement in this solicitation is the expectation of documented, high-level local buy-in. Applicants must include signed letters of support for the community-based anti-gang strategy from, at minimum, the mayor, the chief of police, and the local school superintendent in the jurisdiction where the program will operate. This condition reinforces the Comprehensive Gang Model concept that sustainable results depend on shared ownership across city leadership, law enforcement, and education systems, and it serves as a practical screening tool to ensure the proposed work is anchored in real community commitment rather than being an isolated effort by a single agency.
For application and submission logistics, the solicitation references Grants.gov for electronic submission support. Applicants facing technical submission problems beyond their control were instructed to contact the Justice Information Center (JIC) within 24 hours after the deadline to request approval for alternative submission. The JIC was also identified as the primary resource for questions about solicitation requirements, with support available by phone, email, and web chat during specified business hours, and with extended hours on the closing date.
