Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2014 Multi State Mentoring Initiative (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2014 3804) is a discretionary grant program from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention designed to help established mentoring organizations strengthen and expand mentoring services delivered through their existing local chapters or subawardee networks. The central focus is on increasing the reach and quality of mentoring for at risk, high risk, and underserved youth, with an emphasis on approaches that can reduce the likelihood of delinquency and other problem behaviors. Funded mentoring models may include traditional one on one mentoring, group mentoring, or peer mentoring, as long as the programming is positioned to identify and address key risk factors that can contribute to youth involvement in delinquency and related negative outcomes. The overall intent is not just to grow mentoring participation, but to use expansion strategically to create new opportunities for youth achievement and positive development.
Eligibility is intentionally narrow and targets true multi state mentoring organizations rather than broad national networks. Applicants must be organizations that have operated an established mentoring program for at least three years and currently have active chapters or subawardees in at least five states, with a commitment to serving at risk, high risk, or underserved youth across all five states. The solicitation explicitly clarifies that a collaborative of two or more independent organizations formed to cover five states does not meet OJJDPs definition of a multi state mentoring organization for this opportunity. At the same time, applicants cannot be national organizations or chapters or subawardees of national organizations; for this solicitation, OJJDP defines a national organization as one with active chapters or subawardees in at least 45 states (and the notice indicates this national organization definition was updated from an earlier posting). Another core requirement is that mentoring services supported under this program must be provided to youth who are 17 years old or younger. For profit applicants may apply, but they must agree to forgo any profit or management fee, reflecting the programs emphasis on direct public benefit rather than revenue generation.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity is categorized under Law, Justice and Legal Services and is administered as a grant (not a cooperative agreement). OJJDP anticipated making about 10 awards, with an award ceiling of up to $2,000,000 and no stated award floor. The CFDA number associated with the program is 16.726, the Juvenile Mentoring Program, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can make the program more accessible to eligible organizations that may not have significant non federal funding to leverage.
The timeline for the solicitation reflects a standard federal competitive grant cycle. It was posted on March 27, 2014, with a creation date of April 10, 2014. The original closing date was May 12, 2014, later extended to May 27, 2014, and the opportunity was archived on June 11, 2014. The solicitation also notes that OJJDP may choose to make awards based on applications submitted under this announcement in future fiscal years, depending on application merit and the availability of appropriations, which signals that strong applications could potentially remain relevant beyond the immediate fiscal cycle.
Program authority for this initiative comes from the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2014 (P.L. 113 76, 128 Stat. 5, 64), specifically under paragraph (2) of the Juvenile Justice heading. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to the Justice Information Center (JIC) for support by phone, email, or web chat during posted business hours, including extended hours on the solicitation close date.
