Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY 11 National Indian Nations Conference Justice for Victims of Crime grant (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2011 2962) is a discretionary Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) funding opportunity to support the planning and delivery of the 13th National Indian Nations Conference: Justice for Victims of Crime, scheduled to take place in 2012. OVC planned to make a single award through a cooperative agreement, with up to $600,000 available to one recipient. Because this is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, the selected organization should expect substantial federal involvement and coordination with OVC in shaping the conference agenda, logistics, and overall implementation.
The purpose of the award is to ensure the successful execution of a three-day, national-level, training-focused conference designed specifically to strengthen responses to crime victims in American Indian and Alaska Native communities. The conference emphasis is on timely training, sharing best practices, and providing practical resources that can be used by professionals working directly with victims. The intended outcome is increased capacity across systems that serve victims, so that service providers and justice partners are better equipped to respond effectively, respectfully, and consistently to the needs of American Indian and Alaska Native crime victims.
The opportunity targets a broad professional audience connected to victim services and public safety. This includes victim service providers, criminal justice professionals, and allied professionals whose roles affect victim safety, access to services, and justice system outcomes. By convening these groups in a structured training environment, the conference aims to improve coordination, spread effective approaches, and strengthen professional skills and organizational readiness in tribal and related settings. The announcement also points applicants to the prior conference website (the 2010 National Indian Nations Conference site) as a reference point for understanding the nature and scope of this biennial event.
Funding details in the notice specify an estimated total program funding of $600,000, an award ceiling of $600,000, and an expectation of one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The funding falls under CFDA 16.582 (Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants) and is categorized under Law, Justice and Legal Services.
Eligibility is broad and includes several types of entities that could credibly plan and run a national conference of this scale. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), federally recognized tribal governments, and both public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education. This range suggests OVC was open to selecting an organization with strong conference management capacity and subject-matter credibility, whether that capacity sits within tribal governments, tribal organizations, nonprofits, or higher education.
Key dates included a posted date of February 25, 2011, with an application deadline of April 12, 2011, and an archive date of May 12, 2011. Applicants were encouraged to start the application process well ahead of the deadline, reflecting the practical complexity of assembling a competitive proposal and navigating federal submission requirements.
For support, the notice directs technical submission questions to the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline (1-800-518-4726) or support@grants.gov. Programmatic or solicitation requirement questions were directed to Robert Brown, Tribal Victim Assistance Program Manager at OVC, at 202-616-3297 or robert.brown@usdoj.gov.
