Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY 10 Identity Theft: Strengthening Partnerships and Building Identity Theft Victim Coalitions and Advocate Networks opportunity was a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), designed to strengthen how communities respond to identity theft victimization. The program focused on building practical, on-the-ground capacity by organizing and supporting collaborative coalitions and advocate networks that could improve victim services, expand coordination among partners, and create stronger local and regional infrastructures for helping people recover from identity theft.
OVC planned to make a single cooperative agreement award totaling $650,000 to one national nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Because the funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, the recipient would be expected to work closely with OVC and operate with substantial federal involvement compared to a standard grant. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, and the award ceiling was also $650,000, meaning the full initiative was intended to be managed through this one national-level award.
The core purpose of the project was to establish and support collaborative coalitions at the regional, statewide, or community level dedicated specifically to improving responses to identity theft victims. These improvements were meant to be concrete and service-oriented, including stronger service infrastructure, training for professionals and advocates, development of outreach tools and materials, and direct victim assistance services. In practice, that implies a focus not only on awareness and prevention, but on helping victims navigate the aftermath: reporting and documentation, dealing with creditors and financial institutions, correcting records, addressing related legal issues, and connecting victims with appropriate victim service providers and systems.
The initiative was structured as a three-year effort with distinct phases. Year one centered on planning and outreach, which would typically include mapping existing identity theft resources, engaging key partners (such as victim service agencies, law enforcement, prosecutors, legal aid organizations, consumer protection groups, financial institutions, and community nonprofits), and setting up the foundation for coalition development and communication. Year two shifted to expansion and direct support: the national awardee would distribute up to nine competitive subawards to victim-serving coalitions and provide those coalitions with networking opportunities and training. That second-year design shows OVCs intention to seed multiple local or regional models while also ensuring consistency and shared learning across sites through coordinated training and peer connections. Year three emphasized evaluation and replication, meaning the project was expected to assess what worked, document program models and practices that showed promise, and produce materials or guidance that could help other communities adopt or adapt effective coalition and victim assistance approaches beyond the initial subaward locations.
In terms of administrative details, the opportunity was listed under Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2010 2730 and aligned with the CFDA program 16.582 (Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants), within the broader activity category of Law, Justice and Legal Services. OVC anticipated making one award (ExpectedAwards: 1). The solicitation was posted on May 4, 2010, with an application closing date of June 15, 2010, and it was later archived on July 15, 2010. For application submission issues, applicants were directed to Grants.gov customer support, reflecting that applications were expected to be submitted electronically through the federal portal.
Overall, this grant opportunity was aimed at building a national-to-local pipeline: one experienced national nonprofit would coordinate the initiative, then competitively fund a limited number of community or regional coalitions, help them build skills and connections, and finally evaluate and package the strongest approaches so that identity theft victim assistance could be strengthened more broadly over time.
