OVC FY 12 Action Partnerships for National Membership Professional Affiliation and Community Service Organizations Responding to Polyvictimization | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) FY 12 Action Partnerships opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2012 3219) is a discretionary grant program that funds cooperative agreements with national nonprofit organizations to improve how the field recognizes and responds to polyvictimization. Polyvictimization, sometimes described as multiple victimization or multi victimization, refers to situations where a person experiences more than one type of victimization, often across different settings or time periods. Because these victims commonly face overlapping needs, the program emphasizes holistic, coordinated responses rather than single-issue or siloed services.

OVC planned to make up to six awards, with each cooperative agreement capped at 250,000 dollars, for an estimated total funding amount of 1.5 million dollars. The purpose of the funding is not simply to study the issue, but to identify concrete gaps in services or gaps in awareness among professionals and systems that interact with victims. Funded organizations are expected to develop practical ways to close those gaps through training and technical assistance (TTA). In other words, awardees would be positioned as national-level partners that can strengthen the capacity of practitioners, agencies, and community-based providers to spot polyvictimization and respond in ways that address the full range of victim needs.

This solicitation also serves as a companion to OVCs FY 12 National Field Generated Training, Technical Assistance, and Demonstration Projects solicitation. That companion role signals that OVC intended these awards to complement broader field-driven efforts by ensuring that national membership and affiliation organizations help spread consistent guidance, tools, and training that translate into improved practice across jurisdictions. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, OVC would typically expect active federal involvement during the project period, such as collaboration on deliverables, coordination with other OVC initiatives, and ongoing communication about project direction and outputs.

Eligibility is limited to national nonprofit membership organizations, professional affiliation organizations, and community service organizations. Applicants must be 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education) and must show they have the financial stability and organizational infrastructure to manage a federal cooperative agreement. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for eligible organizations while still requiring them to demonstrate strong administrative and program management capacity.

The opportunity falls under CFDA 16.582 (Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants) and aligns with the broader activity areas of health, income security and social services, and law, justice, and legal services. The solicitation was posted February 29, 2012, and the application deadline was May 15, 2012 (with the archive date listed as June 14, 2012). Applicants were encouraged to start early due to the practical time needed to prepare a compliant federal application and to navigate Grants.gov submission requirements.

For applicant support, the source information lists Grants.gov customer support for technical submission issues and provides OVC program contacts for solicitation requirements and programmatic questions, including Jasmine DAddario Fobian and Sharron Chapman.
