Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY 13 2014 National Crime Victims Rights Week (NCVRW) Community Awareness Project is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), focused on boosting public education and awareness about crime victims rights and available services during National Crime Victims Rights Week in 2014. Rather than funding many separate awards directly, OVC planned to make one cooperative agreement to a single lead organization that would then provide both financial support and hands-on technical assistance to a nationwide set of smaller local efforts. The overall goal is to help communities run outreach activities in their own jurisdictions that spotlight victims rights, connect victims to services, and strengthen public understanding of victim assistance resources.
OVC expected to make one award totaling $375,000, which also served as the award ceiling and the estimated total funding for the solicitation. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, meaning OVC anticipated a more active federal role than in a standard grant, typically including collaboration, guidance, and federal involvement in key aspects of planning and implementation. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible.
The central project design is essentially a mini-grants or subaward program. The selected grantee would be responsible for distributing subgrants to approximately 60 recipients, with each subgrant capped at up to $5,000. These subgrant recipients would use the funds to conduct NCVRW-related public awareness and educational activities locally. In addition to passing through funds, the lead grantee would be expected to provide technical assistance to help subgrantees plan, execute, and potentially evaluate or document their NCVRW events and outreach, ensuring activities align with the purpose of promoting victims rights and services.
Eligible applicants covered a broad range of entities, including 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 noted exception language related to higher education). This range suggests OVC was open to selecting a national or statewide organization, a unit of government, or an academic institution capable of managing a structured subgrant program, supporting numerous local partners, and meeting federal administrative and reporting expectations.
Key dates indicate the solicitation was posted March 5, 2013, with an application deadline of April 18, 2013, and an archive date of May 18, 2013. Applicants were strongly encouraged to start early due to the lead time needed for federal submission steps. The funding opportunity number was OVC-2013-3532, and the CFDA listing was 16.582 (Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants), placing it within the law, justice, and legal services category.
OVC also signaled potential continuity beyond 2014. Depending on the selected grantees performance and the availability of future appropriations, additional funding could be provided to support planning and execution for the 2015 NCVRW Community Awareness Project. That detail implies OVC was looking not just for a one-time distributor of small awards, but for a capable partner that could build an effective, repeatable model for supporting community awareness work across multiple years.
For applicants needing help, the solicitation directed technical submission questions to Grants.gov support (available 24/7 except federal holidays) and programmatic questions to the OVC contact Olivia Grew, Victim Justice Program Specialist, at 202-616-8803. The NCVRW website was referenced as the primary public resource for information about the annual event and related materials.
