Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY 09 Identity Theft Strengthening Partnerships and Building Identity Theft Victim Coalitions and Advocate Networks opportunity was a discretionary funding program from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), designed to strengthen how victim service providers nationwide respond to identity theft. The central goal was to expand both outreach and organizational capacity so that more victims of identity theft could access support, understand their rights, and receive coordinated assistance that reflects the unique harms of identity-related crimes, including financial disruption, legal complications, and long-term emotional stress.
This funding was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning OVC anticipated an active partnership with the selected recipient rather than a hands-off grant. OVC set aside a total of $500,000 for a single expected award to one national victim-serving organization. That organization would function as the lead entity and would be responsible for distributing the funds further through a subgrant model. Specifically, the national awardee could issue up to 15 subgrants of up to $20,000 each to help establish or strengthen collaborative coalitions at the regional, statewide, or community level. These coalitions were intended to bring together local victim advocates and relevant stakeholders to improve the overall response to identity theft victims, encourage coordinated referral pathways, and build networks of advocates who understand identity theft recovery challenges.
The opportunity targeted eligible applicants that were nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowered barriers for nonprofit applicants that might not have had access to additional funds. The award ceiling matched the total estimated available funding at $500,000, with an award floor listed at $0, reflecting that OVC could decide the final award amount up to the ceiling based on the submitted proposal and federal priorities.
Administratively, this solicitation was posted and created on April 1, 2009, with an original and final closing date of April 30, 2009, and it was later archived on May 30, 2009. It fell under CFDA number 16.582 (Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants) and was categorized within the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding activity area. For programmatic questions, the listed contact was Laura Ivkovich, Policy Analyst, reachable by phone at 202-616-3576 or by email at Laura.Ivkovich@usdoj.gov. For technical support related to submitting an application through the DOJ Grants Management System, applicants were directed to the GMS Support Hotline at 1-888-549-9901 (option 3) or GMS.HelpDesk@usdoj.gov, available Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
