Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY 11 NCVRW Community Awareness Project (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2011 2972) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), focused on expanding public education about crime victims rights and available services during the 2012 National Crime Victims Rights Week (NCVRW). The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient should expect an active partnership with OVC in carrying out the work, rather than operating entirely independently.
OVC planned to make one award with an estimated total funding amount of $375,000, which also serves as the maximum (award ceiling). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would not be required to contribute non-federal funds to receive or use the award. The funded organization would function as a pass-through and support hub, providing both financial assistance and technical support to roughly 60 subgrant recipients. Those subgrants were expected to be up to $5,000 each, and they were intended to help local organizations and agencies run public awareness and outreach activities in their own jurisdictions tied specifically to NCVRW in 2012. In practical terms, the main awardee would be responsible for designing and managing a small-grants program, selecting subrecipients, distributing funds, offering guidance and tools, and ensuring activities align with NCVRW goals and messaging around victims rights and services.
The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the CFDA listing associated with the program is 16.582 (Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants). Eligible applicants were broad and included state, county, and city or township governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (with the standard caveat that the nonprofit eligibility noted is “other than institutions of higher education”). This eligibility range suggests OVC was open to awarding the cooperative agreement to a variety of entities capable of administering a national or multi-jurisdictional mini-grants program and providing consistent technical assistance to many local subrecipients.
Key dates for the solicitation were a posted/creation date of March 10, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 21, 2011, and an archive date of May 21, 2011. The solicitation also pointed applicants to the NCVRW website for background on the annual event and its themes and materials. For assistance related to the solicitation, the listed program contact was Olivia Schramm, Victim Justice Program Specialist, reachable at 202-616-8803, with the contact line indicating support for programmatic issues.
