Opportunity Summary:

The OVC FY 09 2010 NCVRW Resource Guide grant (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2009 1996) is a discretionary, competitive funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). Through this program, OVC planned to make a single award using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning the selected recipient would work in close coordination with OVC rather than operating entirely independently. The purpose of the award is to produce a comprehensive National Crime Victims Rights Week (NCVRW) resource kit for 2010 that professionals in the victim services field can use to increase public understanding of crime victim issues during NCVRW in April 2010 and to support outreach and education activities throughout the rest of the year.

The program budget is fixed at $225,000, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $225,000, and OVC anticipated making exactly one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants that may not have access to non-federal matching funds. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 16.582 (Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants) and falls under funding activity areas that include education, income security and social services, and law/justice/legal services, reflecting the public awareness and victim-support focus of the project.

Eligible applicants include a range of public agencies and nonprofit organizations: state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). In practical terms, the target applicants are organizations that already have the capacity to develop, package, and disseminate a high-quality communications and outreach toolkit that can be broadly used by victim assistance programs, allied community organizations, and other stakeholders supporting NCVRW messaging and activities.

Key dates show the opportunity was posted on December 5, 2008, with a closing date of January 12, 2009 (no later extension indicated), and the opportunity was archived on February 11, 2009. Applicants needing access help were directed to Grants.gov customer support at 1-800-518-4726 for technical assistance.
