Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY 10 NCVRW Community Awareness Projects grant (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2010 2651) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). It is designed to support National Crime Victims' Rights Week (NCVRW) activities for 2011 by funding one intermediary organization that will, in turn, help local communities carry out public education and awareness efforts focused on crime victims' rights and available victim services. The intent is not to fund many separate applicants directly; instead, OVC plans to make a single cooperative agreement award so one recipient can manage a nationwide mini-grants and technical assistance effort.
The award amount is $375,000 total, with an award ceiling of $375,000 and no required cost sharing or matching. OVC expects to make one award. The successful recipient will be responsible for the financial, programmatic, and administrative work involved in providing financial support and technical assistance to 60 communities across the country. Those communities are expected to conduct public outreach, education, and awareness activities within their own jurisdictions timed around the 2011 NCVRW observance, with the overall theme of increasing public understanding of victims' rights and improving awareness of local services and resources for victims.
A key feature of this solicitation is that, while the intermediary administers the community-level funding process, the final decisions about which 60 communities receive funding are reserved to the Director of the Office for Victims of Crime. In practical terms, an applicant for this cooperative agreement would need to demonstrate the capacity to design and run a fair, efficient community-selection and subaward process, provide hands-on guidance and support to community partners, manage subgrant funds responsibly, and track results and reporting across a dispersed set of local projects, while also accommodating OVC's final decision-making authority on awards to communities.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations (both those with and without 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education), city or township governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The opportunity is tied to CFDA 16.582 (Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants) and falls under activity areas that include community development, education, income security and social services, and law/justice/legal services, reflecting its public awareness and victim-service orientation.
The solicitation was posted April 5, 2010, with an original and final application closing date of May 18, 2010. Applicants were required to register in OJP's Grants Management System (GMS) before submitting, with the GMS registration deadline set for 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 11, 2010, and the application submission deadline set for 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 18, 2010. The opportunity was archived June 14, 2010.
